Hid fog question
#17
Funny thing I was having that same kinda issue. Found out the bulbs I was using were DC and not AC. Switched the bulbs and they worked fine. Until my oem ballast igniter plug melted. I blamed it on the hid fogs but couldn't pin point if I needed a relay or not because most are not using one and a few are.

hate to bump this thread but i am looking into gettin a 01 gs300 here soon and was curious what bulb size the fog light is, and what hid brightness you guys with yellow fogs are running im assuming 9006 and 3000k?. Im assuming the low beam is a 9005? Looking to get a ddm kit.. Do the 2001s all come with hid factory? If so ill just change fogs and keep factory.

Be careful with 55W HID kits.
Vendors selling 55W HID kits use 35W Bulbs, and advise their customer that the bulbs can handle up to 60W. This is false... All they are doing is overdriving the 35W bulb, which means that the bulb will run hotter and burn out prematurely. Hotter bulbs may mean damage to your headlights.

Interested in doing this (car's gotten kinda boring now that it has no issues - lol).
Question: Does the HID fog light make a significant driving/lighting improvement over the normal fog light? Or does it just "scatter" the light aka just a hella more bright?
