Default H3 HID foglight help

I just finished installing my H11 HIDs from xenon depot and also ordered the H3 for the fog lights but it seems a little more complicated. I have searched on here and found some people doing it with different kits but does anyone have any specific write ups on installing the xenon depot kit in the fog lights?

thanks
Will

Thanks. It took a little longer but it was worth the time. Took me 5 hours to do both lows and fog lights hid. Took my time and made sure everything was neat and tucked away for a factory look. All ballats were bolted to the frame to assure no movement.

Tony
It's hard to tell from the pics but how much more light are you getting?
(Also what is that kit called or model/ part numbers?)

Has anyone put yellow HID fogs in their GX470? If so, can you post pics of the car and the beam shot on the street?

Hi, I got my hids from xenondepot.com now know as kbcarstuff.com. The hid kit is Phillips 4300 for lows and xtreme 4300 for fogs. Will take more pictures later.

here you go, just switch 6000k with 3000k hid bulb for winter, keep in mine my driveway is elevated, just prefer yellow for heavy fogs.





6000k

Looks good! Can you give us a front shot? How does it do in real world driving compared to the 6K fogs
