Thumbs up HID 8000K Fog lights + Independent Switch

Hi all,

I've seen a couple interests recently regarding HID fogs. When I bought my car, I came from a 2005 G Sedan --- totalled by an a**h*** that ran a red on me.. I brought it to my shop and asked the guys to throw on HID fogs and put in an independent switch.

The switch lays above the "key sensing" thing, where you stick your key in. I leave it on most of the time since it is really nice during the day. Here are some pictures for you guys to enjoy. If you are in the L.A area and want to get it done. Here is my shop.

Super VIP Motoring
1820 W. Valley Blvd.
Alhambra, CA
(626) 282-6071

ask for Peter and tell them Ray told you to come by. =)


pictures suck cause i took them on my phone, cant find digital camera.

well you need your average 9006 HID kit.. roughly about 250-350 depends where you buy it.. i sell for 250 a kit.. and then install + switch would cost somewhere around 100-150..

So THAT's how it looks like. In the process of getting my HID's in the fogs and run them independently as well.

Very trick razo!

Wasn't there a member here who was doing a 2-3 day turnaround to custom paint the inside of the headlight housing...?

You guys actually like these mods?
Pretty useless, especially with 8000k.

brightens up the road a bit .. but mostly for looks.. i think its a great mod for looks.. i mean.. if you really wanted it to do something.. you would mount fogs on bumper (bottom) part.. then i would say its useful..
