Hey, I saw something a while back somewhere on a forum about HID fog lights for eclipses... and they said that there aren't any, but they suggested looking into the ones that come on the new catilacs... but now I can't find where that was... but anyways, does anyone on here have HID foglights? are they worth it? what kind do you have?

Thanks

Talk to AZDave, he is planning on creating his own.

He's been running them a couple weeks now, I believe. :thumbsup

I didn't think anyone noticed those yet.

Yup, I took a set of clear Hella Optilux 1100s and converted them to HID with a McCulloch H3 HID kit. The fogs were never meant to be HID so I had to customize them. They are 90% show as far as I'm concerned. The beam is not as flat as a true name brand projector and most importantly, since they are so low on the vehicle you can't aim them very high without causing glare.

I would spend the money on doing HIDs on your regular low beams first if possible.

I also remember reading about the suggestion to use Cadillac HID fogs/driving lamps but don't remember where I saw it at.

I wouldn't waste the money on a hid kit for foglights.

I don't really care about the money aspect... I'm going to spend the money to make my car exactly how I want it... I just don't know if the look is really worth it... and if it's not good for the road, I don't want think I really want it...

EDIT: AzDave, do you have any pics with them on? thx

lol dave...man u n me have the same fog lights...mcculloch kit here too.

AzDave, do you have any pics with them on? thx

A few days late but here is a pic of the Hella E55 Bi-Xenons and the Hella Optilux 1100 projector fogs after my conversion to HID.

I wouldn't either except that when I retro-fitted a set of E55 Bi-Xenon Hellas inside of my ebay projectors I was left with a used McCulloch kit and H3 capsules. Since my fogs were H3 I figured why not? If the HID fogs ever fail I'll probably go back to the way it was.


I don't have pics yet of them installed.

They look exactly like my Pilot Automotive projector fogs only these lenses are clear/clear instead of pearly blue/yellow. They do have that cool blue flicker as you approach my car from the front.

If you already had the kit sitting around, then that is a different story. But to go out and buy a kit just to put in the fog lights seems like a waste to me. But that is just my opinion.
