i have a 97 prelude... and i have some JDm foglights...

now i was wondering... would it be a good idea to put some HIDs in there? if ever yes, how much fabbing would i have to do to the housing to make the bulb fit? would the HIDs improve visibility alot compared to the sotck halogen ones that came with it?

i know the JDM one comes with e H3c bulb size, is there any H3c HIDs out there? or will i just really have no other choice than going with the H3 size instead and just getting the adaptor...

any help and info would be greatly appreciated... TIA!

I had the same idea, and was thinking just to use the plug'n'play kits.

I made mine my self. And its not a easy task. i got about 29-30 hours into my foglights.. alot of fabrication and screwing up to get it where i wanted it.

It all depends on what you wanted.

projector foglights. then you gotta buy projectors. HID equipment then pay for labor and fabrication cost

ooh snap... damn... thats alotta hours... but im sure it is all worth it in the end...

 

Why not just buy a plug and play kit and call it a day? Since they are fogs cutoff should not be as much of an issue anyways.

i know... im not worried about the cutoff and all that...

im just wondering cause im not completely sure if the HIDs will fit in the JDM foglight housing... and may have to do some fabbing to make it fit...

regardless if its in fogs or headlights.. it will still produce a large amount of glare and that is not safe at all for other drivers on the road

 

bump!

 

yea it can be done...get a plug n play kit through mccullach...imo, i would get the 3000k seriers for the foglights, they look really good and improves visibility

None... get a PLUG AND PLAY kit

If a H3 bulb fits in the housing then an H3 HID bulb will fit also.

 

Im using a HID kit on my fog with the 3k yellow bulb...its actually pretty nice like lexus is300 style
BTW this is on my 99 civic coupe

how do you like it bro? like compared to stock halogen...

do you regret getting them? better visibility and all?

 

I luv em...oh there is no comparison to stock halogen these are 5x brighter then halogen bulbs no regrets about it...Reason I put Hid on my fogs was to look like the is300 and pretty much got the same result maybe even better?lol

 

what brand of HIDs did you get?

any other recommendations other than what you have?

 

I have the X5 kit in my car and have had no problems for almost 2 years now.
