yea it's been done by a few people here. I've seen it done with a 880 lamp kit and people have replaced the foglamps which use h3 lamps and purchased a kit for that. There is a vendor on here that sells the 880 kit but I forget the username. Someone will chime in with the info.

yup they sell those kits all day long on ebay. I am happy with my Kaixen kit I have for my headlights. They make a kit for H3's also.

I purchased a 6000k HID fog light kit from Brian2006's site and I'm more than happy with it. While the light pattern is same as the stock fog lights and sort of aims up and out, the light is still bright enough to drive without the headlights popped up and it looks killer. The 6000k lights are more "white" than the 8000k. Here are some pictures I took with my phone:

Those are pretty bright, looks good though. Your phone takes some pretty damn good pics too, lol.

Are you gonna do your headlights too, how does it look with the headlights on and the fogs...seems it would look kind of weired.

8000K will be bluer and dimmer.

The K number is the color temp. It is not the brightness (well not directly, I'll explain). 4000K - 5000K is the brightest. Continuing up the color scale, the light gets bluer then purpler and the lumens output (the actual measurement of light) decreases. In other words, a 10000K HID kit is dimmer than a 4300K HID kit. Our eyes are least sensitive to blue light. Blue light also scatters more easily. In the end, we can see better with a 4300K HID kit for many reasons.

I've had people flash their lights at me a few times but it doesn't really bother most people. I am going to try and angle them in and down somehow but I don't know how thats gonna work out.

I will eventually get my high and low beams done but for now I don't ride with the headlights and fogs on, only one or the other.

I just bought the 8000k from Brian2006's site also and I wanted to ask you how you installed yours? Like did you have to take the front bumper off?

Very interested as well if you have to remove the front bumper or not. I am about to put a new bumper on and that would be a great time to get this done.

No bumper removal neccessary, just plug in from the top if you can reach it, the fog lights are real easy plug and play. I've done my car and 3 friends car's, all camaro/firebirds and ive done low beam and fog lights. Less than $400 for both low beams/foglights when said and done for my trans am and alittle bet less expensive for the camaro since you dont have to buy new glass lenses,
************PM me for more info,
ps-**ive used 8000K and 10,000K and they both look awesome changes the car night and day

They dont have projectors for our fogs on TA's correct? As far as I know, camaro's already have projectors for fogs.
