Hoen Xenon match fogs bulb just went out, thinking about going to hid setup.

Well after about 6 months my hoen fog light went out. I was thinking about getting some hid fogs.

I noticed some members got theres from umnitza for around $300.

Whats the best path for my new project.

Thanks
Krunk

Go HID. That'd be hot. I too have the Hoens and they just don't cut it for me. Once they blow, I'm goin the HID route as well.

btw, I would go with uminitza for the kit or buy something of great quality for cheaper. ie Techone has great HID kits for around $210 for a GD. My cousin was telling me about this GD from another forum. I'll let ya know.

Passenger HID has a delay

Hi,
Just wondering if someone can help me diagnose this issue. My passenger side HID (OEM) started looking pink and not very bright and has a delay comming on. This morning it came on 20 seconds after the drivers side. Do you think my HID bulb needs replacing? I had the drivers side replaced a year ago. My truck is a 2002

I'm planning on doing this as well. I'd like to have my whole front end 6000k (Angel eyes, Headlights, and Fogs).

its a sign that the bulb might go out soon so just get it replaced

Thanks. Another question is, do you think it might also be the ballast?

Contacted Umnitza

$270 Shipped for the 6000k.

Sounds like a good deal,
Has anybody done a group buy on these or would be interested in starting one?
