No, that's not the link. I understand though. I don't know what a cyber-squatter is but it sounds bad. The link I posted was to Marcin's website, there is a mods page there and he used the hella's I believe.

I cyber-squatter is a company or person that buys a domain name (especially popular ones) when the owner's contract runs out and redirects it to an advertising page which generates them money. Sometimes these organizations/people buy/create a domain name that they know a company will want and try to sell it to them for an outrageous price. Or if they bought an existing name, they'll try to sell it back to the original owner at an outrageous price. Often they buy/create common misspellings of a company's site name and redirect it to an advertising page (often listing competitors of the the correctly spelled site).

The other option is to keep the headlights as is and put some projectors with HID in place of my foglights... Any opinions on that?

I'm begining to accept that I won't be finding any pictures of the beam patterns..

The fog light mounting position is too low for headlights. It wont illuminate the road as well and violates lighting regulations too.

Why would it violate lighting regulations? I'd still have the headlights on..?

So you want to keep the current head lights on, and have HID projectors in the fog light location? So for normal driving you'd have 4 lights on (HID projector fogs and sealed beam headlights)? Is that right? I thought that you wanted to use HID projectors in the fog light location with the headlights off.

I don't think the 4-light approach will violate any regulations, but the HID projectors won't light the road as well as if they were up at the normal headlight height. Also, when you turn on your high beams, the fog lights have to be off. There is a limit on the number of forward-facing lights that can be lit.

Correct, i would have the HID projector fog lights on with the stock headlights. I understand it is not ideal placement, but I've decided I couldn't make projectors look good in the headlight area. The only option there is black outs, which would cut down the light as well.

I've already grounded out the fog lights so they stay on with the high beams. I don't see why I would get hassled since the only time I would use them is on a dark empty road where brights are normally used. Police normally aren't around these places, and I'm not sure why they would care in these instances either.

Again, thanks for all the help!

The install itself it really easy. i did my swap in about 2 hours total. Just need common tools as usual

I think my final decision is to go with HID projector fog lights.

Now if someone could lead me in the right direction to get a nice set of projectors...

bump.

My question is when doing the hella ff75, do you have to mod anything that would prevent you from going back to a stock light? Not that you'd want to but if needed.

As far as I know, it's just a hole for each light on the headlight panel. Shouldn't affect going back to stock.

Yes in order for them to fit you have to remove all the plastic mounting tabs and cut a few more sections out of there so they wont stick out too far
