So, I can just buy the Nokya Yellow H3 bulbs and put them in my stock fog lights and have yellow fogs?

Where did you buy them and how much do they cost? Did they look good?

kidzik007,

If they looked that good, why did you change them out?

dadewi: cause now i has HID! 10K


boxcarfan: nope, the light stays yellow. I had that setup for about 2 years and never faded at all; always yellow and when the fog is off they look chrome.

installing HID's in the foglights are **** easy. did both of mine in under 30 minutes. and half that time was finding where to mount the ballast. but luck had it, i was able to use a screwhole from where the charcoal canister was on the one side. and on the other side, a mounting point where the SMIC used to be.

how is it a hard project? i don't understand. plug a ballast in, and plug the fog light into that, and then a light into the ballast. it's not rocket science.


can anyone explain why it would be hard on yours?
