I've had HID's on my car for about 2 years now and love it, I will never own another car without them. Since the HID fogs are only ~80 bucks then I will definitely get these! i love the look of the TA's HID's in the lows and fogs. I have 6k on my lows and will go with the same temp. for my fogs. can't wait. Good write-up OP!

installed mine! theyre great, very nice kit. However one of the connectors was not quite the right size. It worked, but its an incorrect plug. also, one of my fog light housings is messed up from an old bulb that melted it. Causing my alignment to be a tad off. but i like them. HIDs are BRIGHT!

i managed to get to them from the bottom. but did you get the correct pieces, cuz the plastic that you put in yourself makes the connection to wide for the car connection, i will get pics up

Glad to hear you guys like the kit. Amazing difference, right? Now you can actually tell that the lights are on!

awesome, I just ordered my HID kit and hopefully the housing company will get in contact with me soon..they will be aimed low as I can do just tired of not being able to see especially with no fog lights!

There is a access panel on each side of the car under the front bumper held closed by multiple 9 or 10mm bolts. Take the bolts out and the panel will swing down and you'll have full easy access to the fog lights.
Easier than trying to stick your arms down through the top of the bumper.

Awesome! Glad I found this thread! That's the one thing that has been bugging with me and the T/A, the yellow lights, my 75 Pontiac Astre has brighter lights (Hellas w/ Silverstars). I'd replace the fogs, but then they wouldn't match the headlights. I didn't know about eurolamps and their housings, so I'm gonna order a pair right now! I'll probably start with some Silverstars since I have them in my other cars and love them. Then I'll probably get the HID kit later once I have the funds, and since the light housings are gonna be a hundred dollar bill on their own.

Great write up, I put HID's in my fog lights last christmas (which was really simple like you said) and my car has been down the past couple month (Im having a 383 stroker built) but when I get it running again im gonna get HID's for the low beam. This write up had some really useful information.
