i dont think there are many options for you, its not like you can stick an HID in there.. or can you? its already pretty bright, but if your not satisfied than maybe a hyperwhite bulb? btw just got the new honda tuning, wanted to say congrats to ATS for the green sol in there.. looks sick as always

if you're talking about the edm fog, its redded like the tailights,
so to make it shine so bright the red turns pink and even brighter to turn white
just use a higher wattage bulb?

yeppers i know the issue your talking about. i have that one too, i just got this one today May, 08.. its a small shot on page 30.. cover has the turbo fit on it. pretty good issue and worth purchasing
they do retrofits on front lower fogs, why not the rear? lol it would kinda suck for the car behind you when its on though

oh i see
guess i got to go pick i up then...

the rear fog would be bright and be quite annoying to someone driving behind in normal weather/clear conditions
however, when its actually really FOGGY (like in europe where they are required), which is what its supposed to be used for and its intended purspose, an HID fog might be perfect...

well I'm using a switch that is hidden in the arm rest console and I hooked up the power to the cigarette lighter power wire and the light just shines like a brake light, but I want it to turn pink/ white. Some guy around my neighbourhood has it done on his civc like that and it is didnt bother me. I'd ask him but I don't seem him often + I don't know him so it would be pretty awkward. He and I are the only 2 cars around here w/ it. I already tried using an HID bulb and it made no difference. Maybe if I wire it directly to the battery?

did you wire it with a ballast too?(the HID) i dont know, i have mine just spliced into the tail light harness using the same ground and its way brighter than my tail lights.. its meant to be just as bright as the brake light..

direct to battery won't make a difference, same voltage
brightness is all in the bulb
however, when you up the wattage of the bulb, it would be a good idea to run a relay for power directly to the battery so you don't run too high ampage and blow a fuse or worse burn the wires (know this from personal experience )

the HID really didn't make a difference?
it'd be cool if you could have it low beam connected to parking lights and high beam connected to brake light

This is my latest car, picked up off the 35 year old origional owner. Its a 1996, VTEC model with 125,000km. Was bone stock when I bought it, recently did a few minor bolt-ons, coilovers, and has temp rims until I can find somthing that'll set it off.

so ******, may be getting some new(well used, but new to me) wheels. Before vegas unfortunately they have been done before on a sol, but they are by FAR my favorite look on a lowered sol so they deserve a 2nd coming on a sol

**** ownage.

well not going to spoil the suprise(because I truly think that it'll happen) but I will post these pics:

Can you say super light????





as for a hint on the possible new wheels, well, the set that was rocked on a sol was VERY blingy and looked hard as **** IMO
