  • Lighting options..

    I'm going to do something about the poor lighting of the stock headlights. I have a set of aftermarket fogs and they help, but it's not cutting it anymore. I have a few options. First, Hella FF75s plus HID eventually, or I could just stick an HID kit in the stock housings. The other option is to buy a set of projectors and an HID kit and put that in for the fogs. I'm really unsure which would be the most effective lighting, but the projector fogs+HID would be the least blinding to other on the road. I don't know about the cutoff of the FF75s. i've seen one bad picture, and have to guess what's what, and the foglight FF75s look like they have a decent cutoff for not being projectors.

    what ever you do with the headlights you should do to the fog lights. Having one a different color than the other looks funny

                      I really regret putting that last option on there as no one is actually giving me any useful input.

                        So when you guys say "go with HIDs" are you referring to putting an HID conversion kit in the stock headlight housings, or getting some projectors with HID for the fogs, or hella FF75s with HID? If you didn't notice, HID is part of every answer except the last..:)

                            I personally wouldn't put HID in the factory housings because...

                            1 - You'll blind oncoming drivers, which is rude and potentially dangerous

                            and

                            2 - If you adjust the light downward, you are actually increasing the light intensity closer to the front of the car. When this happens, your pupils adjust to the brighter light and you actually loose distant visibility. To what extent, I'm unsure.
