I mod my car the correct way. IE Projector retrofits and colormodding to get color the correct way. Much more expensive and actually takes some skill, but you end up with a superior product. You should try it some time.

It's not like I'm driving with H-beam on all the time.
A normal H4 bulb is 55/60W. Not 80.

I have 80/130 in mine a year so far. Infact they are half yellow so the fogs come out yellow and the Hi beams are clear.

why the hell does everybody bitch about hid's in their foglights? sure they blind but i was blinded by a new jag with retros the other day and that was the worst i have ever been blinded and i have seen plenty of ricers that have hids in their halogen housings that dont blind because they aim them correctly this is just like when i was on preludeonline people swore that they didnt blind and then people cried that they did blind its all a point of how you aim them and thats it, if you want hids then just run you headlamps aiming more down then even if it was like driving all the time with your high beams on it doesnt matter anyway there you go problem solved lol

Personally, I don't give a crap how much glare my high beams put out. They are NOT going to be on when there is oncoming traffic anyway. I want something that will BLIND THE SUN when I'm on the back roads that I have to drive at night. There are deer, hogs, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, opossum, night hawks, and that doesn't include the dogs and cats that run around at night. I want to see them. On my last work truck I had two 150 watt sealed beam landing lights, to 100 watt fog lights, 100/130 watt 9007 lights in the stock location (that's well over a million candela) and I was wishing for more. So, no I don't care about glare.

Some H4's that I found that are white High beam and Yellow Fogs. It's weird though, from the drivers seat, the fogs look yellow, from the front, they seem to match the OEM HID's very well.

I have a Bi-Zenon kit, I just haven't put it in yet.

I agree 100% with your mentality.


I appreciate someone who takes some pride in their modifications and puts a little thought, skill and money into it rather than looking for the cheap way out.
