I've had HID's on my car for about 2 years now and love it, I will never own another car without them. Since the HID fogs are only ~80 bucks then I will definitely get these! i love the look of the TA's HID's in the lows and fogs. I have 6k on my lows and will go with the same temp. for my fogs. can't wait. Good write-up OP!

installed mine! theyre great, very nice kit. However one of the connectors was not quite the right size. It worked, but its an incorrect plug. also, one of my fog light housings is messed up from an old bulb that melted it. Causing my alignment to be a tad off. but i like them. HIDs are BRIGHT!

i managed to get to them from the bottom. but did you get the correct pieces, cuz the plastic that you put in yourself makes the connection to wide for the car connection, i will get pics up

Sorry raptor haven't been looking at the thread. Open your hood, and RIGHT in the front, in front of the lid, you have to reach your arms in there down to the fog lights. (I'm 16 so I can still get my hands down there) If you cant, I think you can do it from under the car if you take off the plastic covering piece as well.

Glad to hear you guys like the kit. Amazing difference, right? Now you can actually tell that the lights are on!

As for night time pics, this is all I got from a camera phone.


12000K is insane.

Might get a kick out of this too..

Halogens are crap

There is a access panel on each side of the car under the front bumper held closed by multiple 9 or 10mm bolts. Take the bolts out and the panel will swing down and you'll have full easy access to the fog lights.

Easier than trying to stick your arms down through the top of the bumper.

Only time I ever emailed him was to send him pics of the HIDs for his page. He sent back a 'thanks!' in a couple of days. You'll get them in a few days i'm sure.
I've done the gear fix too in the headlight motor, just take your time and you'll be good.

Awesome! Glad I found this thread! That's the one thing that has been bugging with me and the T/A, the yellow lights, my 75 Pontiac Astre has brighter lights (Hellas w/ Silverstars). I'd replace the fogs, but then they wouldn't match the headlights. I didn't know about eurolamps and their housings, so I'm gonna order a pair right now! I'll probably start with some Silverstars since I have them in my other cars and love them. Then I'll probably get the HID kit later once I have the funds, and since the light housings are gonna be a hundred dollar bill on their own.

Great write up, I put HID's in my fog lights last christmas (which was really simple like you said) and my car has been down the past couple month (Im having a 383 stroker built) but when I get it running again im gonna get HID's for the low beam. This write up had some really useful information.
