Default HID Fog Lights in my 98 TA.

Finally got around to upgrading my fog lights. Went with 55w HID's 6000k. The difference is literally night and day. Don't even need the headlights at night.

Those stock plastic housings will eventually melt from those 55watt HID, but in the meantime you are blinding people with a improperly controlled beam.

Um, your "fog" lights are now lighting up the entire back end of the vehicle, and casting light onto the tree leaves above.

I'd be more than a little annoyed at you if I was driving my Camaro the other way and had to get hit by those lights. Ouch. Would likely irritate me even in my truck.

I have 35w hid in my fogs that I installed years ago but I DO NOT run them at night. They are to bright so they stay off when the sun goes down.

Just wondering why you went hid instead of led? I did a full led swap on my car and it wasnt bad. I like that they burn cooler and they last a long time and use less electric.
