nipe 1 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Would these work in a normal E39 fogs or do they have the be projector style bulbs in the fogs to be able to fit HIDS there too? Sorry for the noob questions. Also how would this affect the LCM in E39s? Is it likely to screw anything up? Sorry I didn't understand your first question? By LCM I assume you mean the warning for the lights? If so then yes, they will throw the warning because HID consumes less power, but I can solve it for people with warnings for a little bit extra.

mossline 15 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 Sorry i was a bit unclear. What i meant is, could I put HID's into my front fog lights as they are not projector style housings....? I wouldn't like to have nice coloured HID's in the main beam then ugly yellow light coming from the fogs. Id like to have HID's in both but unsure whether the housings for the fogs will allow HID's to be installed..... I keep both main and fogs on when driving day and night as so many of the drivers here in Wellington just dont use their eyes. Having them on seems to have brought down the amount of daily near misses with these muppets! Sorry I didn't understand your first question? By LCM I assume you mean the warning for the lights?

Yes they will fit fine and be 6000k color (very very very light blue white)throwing a resistor inline? well that depends on how much you charge for it smile.gif Yep, couple ceramic ones one on each side, will have to look into the cost, but I'm sure I can do it within $20-25 mark, depending on resistors (2x10w would be cheaper than one 20w) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mossline 15 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 So.... Darren... You getting 2 sets? One for main beam, the other for fogs? We should join forces one weekend and wire them up!

nipe 1 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 Ok, I can get the HB4 no prob, just sorting out the shipping options. Can do air (more expensive, but faster or sea, slower but cheap) How soon you guys want your HB4s? P.S. None of you are keen for any kits yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would still like to see some pictures of them first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nipe 1 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 All right, there is the photo of the kit: And here is the photo on the car, HID on the right. Sorry about the pic, it was very hard to get the pic of lights on in daylight and show what it looks like properly...but here it is anyway: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
