Spent my entire night painting and installing foglights... it was a long project which involved several trips to lowes/walmart and even resulted in me getting arrested (long story) but its finally done at 12:30am.... snapped some quick pics and thought i'd share.
The setup is as follows:
Audi A6 projectors retrofitted into OEM housings
Phillips 5000k Bulbs
Hella Ballasts
OEM Fogs painted yellow with Krylon stained glass paint
PIAA Ion Crystal Yellow bulbs








i know the pics suck, and are blurry, but its the best i could do for now. Lemme know what you all think!

 

Looks good man, did the yellow help at all ( visibility wise), and tell us how u got arrested lol

 

lol whyd you get arrested?

i would like to know as well..

 

yes.. why&gt;?

 

well for the sake of not letting this thread go off topic much more... i got arrested for "reckless driving" by a cop who has pulled me over multiple times before. Basically i was headed to the hardware store on a 4 lane highway, made a left into it but realized they were closed, so instead pulled a U turn... cars were comming so i accelerated thru 1st and he got behind me when i was in 2nd... speed limit was 55 and i was doing 45-50, max, whatever... aparently recklace driving in this city calls for an arrest with it, and a misdimeanor, bullshit. I'm fighting it.

As for the fogs, they helped out visibility A LOT. The yellow just seems to fill in all the spots on the road that the HID's miss, its a crazy combination, and i love it. Those bulbs made a huge difference over the silverstars i had in there before.

 

looks good

 

those fogs look good.

 

SO SICK!

 

Hey where did u purchase ur fog light kit?...im thinking about getting some for my Si but i want to get the dark grey light housing like urs....just woundering where u got them...looks good by the way

 

Mine are OEM, and they came on the car from the factory as an option. You can pick up an OEM set at http://www.handa-accessories.com though...

damn, for around 50 bucks, they better be brighter than the silverstars

 

or he could dish out another $600+ and retrofit his foglights

the silverstars dont even compare... its night and day difference. Silverstars suck, they burn out after a while, and the light output isnt that great at all compared to these. And the PIAA's have such a nice color, its unbelievable. And the PIAAs might retail for $50, but arent the silverstars like 35 or something? not that far behind....
As for how much i payed, i work for an import performance shop, so our cost on them is like $10 a bulb or something... but we'll keep that on the DL.
And as for retrofitting HIDs in the fogs, no thanks... i'm happy with the way the setup is right now, its more then bright enough for me!

 

 

dammit, i want fogs so bad, but cant run then cause of IC piping
