hid foglights
 

Well i might decide to install some HID foglights to match the xenons that i changed to 8000k. I was thinking of purchasing them from ebay but seems like there is so many sellers and i am a ebay rook. Any word on where i can find a steal deal on a set of Hid foglight bulbs, i am pretty sure they are H3 bulbs. My X5 is 2002.

heres a link at what i was looking at but it seems so cheap--->TO GOOD TO BE TRU or just a DEAL.hmmmm

Good buy or Stay away. Not sure with ebay most of the time.

not of any help my friend, link is old!:confused:

I cannot access your eBay link from work to see what "cheap" is, but JLevi sells a reasonably priced set - try www.jlevisw.com

Nothing old about the references in that post http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/store/ Is alive and well and a sponser on this site. :nanana:

Those are just the bulbs not the full kit...if you look at the bottom it says included in the kit 2 bulbs, no ballast or igniters thats why it is so cheap. although good price if the bulbs are any good.

We have full HID kits as well:

Apexcone - 55W Racing HID Lighting Kit
http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...oducts_id=1209

I don't recommend the 55W kit as fogs since there is quite a bit of heat buildup, all kits feature a lifetime warranty.

thanks for pointing that out, i thought something was a little fishy. Not feeling the other members posts on this thread, i was looking for a deal so chill on the comments, i already been thru that thread and saw jevis prices, and i was looking for a "CHEAPER" deal. OH that beens less of a price, ;)

So how bout these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-GO...QQcmdZViewItem

Will the 35W version cause any error messages when you turn it on?

No sir, the HID ballasts (digital) have built in anti-lamp failure circuitry.

TOM - I have an '02... which bulb type should I select on your order page? Bulb chart link is not working for me. TIA

Pre 2003 is H3, 2003+ is H11. :thumbup:

So i finally got the hid foglights installed. I bought the 8000k to match the xenons and they look great. I lucked out on the fact that i have projector foglights so they look nice and clear, no glare at all. I will take some pics soon! I had did the install and now its brighter than the stock 4300k i had before, but with foglights on of course. Thanks for all the info!:thumbup:

I am a little confused - you are saying the 8000K is a perfect match to factory xenons?? I didn't think you had to go that high in the range to get a match...

Can someone confirm?? I am ready to change my fogs to HID bc I am tired of replacing H3 bulbs every 4-5 months.

4300k is the perfect match to the factory low beams.

He installed 8000k to match his 8000k HID low beam bulbs he installed.

Got it - thanks!!
