How long was the install on this? My fogs are looking pretty poor and don't add any extra lighting.

I just did mine, real easy, had HID's in the stockers and it melted them, these are not quite as bright as the HID's but much brighter than the stockers, I can almost drive with just these on.

They are still available at Pep Boys, I think I paid about $70, real good deal for aluminum housings and glass lens, and they are bright

I believe these use an H3c which is a compact H3 bulb and I can't find an HID in that size, a normal H3 hid won't work because the housing is to shallow for the bulb to fit.

You can find them on amazon right now around 55 bucks, but they do fluctuate in price, a couple months ago they where dropping in price everyday so I kept holding off to see how low it would go then within 3 days of bottoming out they where back to normal price, they had gotten down into the 35 dollar price range.

I know this thread is old, but has anyone found a HID bulb to fit these navigator housings? I have DDM tuning HIDs hooked up now and the bulb has melted the middle of my stock fogs also.

These aren't really fog lights. They have the wrong beam pattern. I have them so I know. They have a conical beam pattern (like a flood light) instead of a flat-low-wide beam pattern. 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.

Dam! I just bought these today. Guess I'll take them back to PepBoys. Any other recommendations? I really don't want to get another OEM foglight just to have them melt again. I would really like the glass. Thought these Navigators would do it for me.

I don't know of any specifically in this size that may work. Maybe there is a Hella or PIAA in this size that actually has an actually fog pattern, but HID would still not be a good idea.

Also like better than stockers but went with pilot simulated HID look. When I was looking I searched for 4 inch ones. Name:  101_1145.jpg
