LT1 Fog Lights or Navigator NV-362W Fog Lights? I need to buy some new fog lights since my current ones melted from my HIDs.
I'm trying to decide between LT1 fog lights or the Navigator NV-362Ws shown in this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-f...og-lights.html
I'm really wanting to get something with metal/glass so I can match my low-beams 6000k.
(And I'm planning to fab something up for the glass so the HIDs don't blind people).
I think the navigators are H3 though, and I've read its hard to come by HIDs that will fit in there... help!?

well, I can tell you this, in person the H3 bulbs in the 362's look pretty damn close color wise to a GOOD 6000k HID (not one of those crappy 30 dollar ebay HID kits) just at a lesser intensity then HID would be, that said the light pattern spread of those housings (from what I can see with mine, in a firebird/formula front bumper) would be absolutely horrendous with HID's the LT1 housing would be better and more focused due to the shape of the housing.
I'll try to get a pic with my phone tonight and see how it shows up.

I'd really appreciate a pic man, its going on my 99 WS6, so as long as it fills up the space and produces an *almost 6000k effect.

They already glare with the stock H3 bulbs. HID would just be horrible in these housings. Since I have Low Beam Projectors with HID, I just leave these fogs off.

I just wanted to post a reply in case anyone stumbled across this thread, I ended up going with the Navigators and WOW, I absolutely love them.
I followed another thread and used our stock fog light brackets with them and they fit perfectly. If anyone wants pics I can take some.
