Has anyone put HIDs in their 94-95 accord OEM fogs? needing help on how to do this.

 

You'll most likely melt the housings.
Although HID's draw less watts (from the car's electrical system) the bulbs (emitters) do run hotter. That's why you often see warranty disclaimers on aftermarket projector lamps with regards to HID usage.

P

 

thanks for the input. The lense is glass and the housing on them is metal tho so idk if they will melt from the HIDs. i dont think i can put HIDs in these fog lights anyway. its all sealed and got to take everything apart to get to the bulbs. well i guess i got a HID kit for sale now

 

I am doing this in my fogs

 

are the 96-97 fogs like the 94-95 fogs? i konw they mount diff and everything. but is the bulb and everything inside the housing? it looks like you have to take the whole thing apart to do it

 

I'd assume they're all the same basic build. Remove them from the bumper and then turn them on the bottom - should be 3 small phillips screws. Undo those and you can get access to the bulbs and the wiring.

For the wiring it's a rubber grommet. You should be good. When I get my kit I'll see if I can take pictures.

 

Yeah thats what i tought. but i wanted to see if anyone else has does it because the screws are rusted in and cant get them out. so im prolly going to have to drill them out and put new ones in. sucks but gotta do what gotta do i guess

 

I had trouble with mine too, my best suggestion is get a good screwdriver for it - you need one that fits perfectly in there otherwise they'll just strip

 

yeah i got one that fit perfect and used alot of PB blaster and it still ended up striping. the metal is rusted and too soft. so im just going to have to get new screws. i wish i could have just got these out. i got two screws out of one and one screw out of the other. others are stuck.

 

melt the oem housings lmao

joined yesterday and already i love this place! ht ftw!

 

okay so i got the HIDs in the fog lights and got them working. i have to kind of rig them and use RTV but hey.....they work. and i took lots of pics if anyone want to know how i did it.

 

i would like to do that in my 92 coupe. could you post the pics?

 

ok i will make a How To: when i get a chance. Im workin on gettin my car back together

 

Ya for sure post a picture of that!! It was a thought for me but never made it a reality.. I have two pairs of Stanley fog lights, one yellow and the other white/clear.

 

ok well for those of you wanting to see how i did my HIDs in my fogs here is the link https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...&highlight=hid

 

wheres pictures of them lit up?

 

Got a source to back that up about the HID capsules running hotter than halogen? I'm pretty sure they do in fact run cooler than 55W halogen bulbs. My headlight housings don't get nearly as hot w/ my HID retrofit as they did w/ stock 55W 9006 bulbs.

 

Like Patrick just stated.

These bulbs do run hot, but they don't melt metal.

You can fire up an HID projector for hours, and yet you can hold the projector without burning yourself.

 

Bionic!

I still need to hit up your shop to say hello

I'm still tossing around retrofitting my headlights.

 

HID capsules do indeed burn cooler than 55w halogen. melting will not be your issue, however glare will be.
