Brandon E Harrington Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hey everyone, Quick question. Has anyone put HID's in their fog light housing? I was going to do it but it's all plastic. I am afraid the light will melt the housing the bulb goes into. Can anyone share their experience?

jkeaton Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yes, it will eventually melt the housings. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Fog lights are meant for fog. You will get too much reflection in the thick fog if you do this, + melt the housing. Bad idea, IMHO. Edited November 17, 2015 by dhh3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobitz68 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 First off, the fog lights throw light EVERYWHERE. Please don't put HIDs in them, they will probably blind pilots in the sky they scatter so much. I have LEDs in mine, but our fogs don't really provide much usable light, so they are really just running lights that match my retrofit in my headlights. The bulbs I got are great quality, but the oem "fog" lights really aren't fog lights at all. If you want something better, I would suggest changing the housing to one designed as a fog light. They are fairly universal and you should be able to find a number of them at different price points. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any brighter than stock, just yellow. IMO, fog lights on these cars are more for decoration than function.

I had my Dealer install them for me, when the DJ was on the lift for an oil change. If I take pictures of them, they come out white; but they are yellow. Same amount of light; less reflection in fog, or rain at night jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 No no no. Do not put led bulbs.in or those yellow bulbs. Go to the retrofit source and buy what I bought. Led projector fogs. U wanna be amazed!? Little expensive but its worth if my friend. vozaday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vozaday Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 ^ This. $170 is pretty cheap for quality like that. I paid $350 each for my JW speaker lights I retrofitted into the fogs in my F150 before anyone had fogs for them. Having the bright LED's with a cutoff like the JW speakers or Morimito make it for a nice light, and you don't blind oncoming traffic. Plus the fogs are blacked out then which looks pretty sweet.

Agree with Cody - this is the best bet so far. Well worth it. Quality product, plug and play installation, [almost] lifetime span. Make it a Christmas gift for your DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I wonder if Hella Micro DE fogs would be easy to fit . . . . . they aren't expensive and they throw a ton of yellow light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the plastic lenses could handle it. Personally I'm wondering about a true glass lens housing. My Dakota had real glass and I ran HID's in them. They honestly put out so much light with the HID's I never had to do anything with the headlights. Wonder if those housings can fit or be retrofitted.

B4ZINGA Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 You want the Morimoto Type-M LED foglights. Had I not been buying projectors for two cars (MH1-7 for the Journey, and quads for the Special) I'd have picked up a set during the black friday sale. I spent enough as it was.
