Hid's for Headlights and Foglights?

Post by MaSSaCrE »

I'm doing a few mods to my 2000 grand am im gonna be driving daily and I wanted to have hid headlights and fog lights as well.Ive seen a few people only replace the bulb for the fog lights but then others have did the whole hid kit setup like the headlights are? What would be better to do for the foglights. I do know I have to keep the wattage down so I do not burn\melt\or color change the casing. Ill prob do 6 or 8k for both. If not that 3k fogs and 6 or 8k headlights. The car is only a daily driver and is nothing special. so ill just order an ebay set or two with the two year warranty.

Ive got Alpine 4x6 alpine type s for front speakers, Alpine 6x9 type s for rear speakers, Also picking up the subs and two amps later this week for the car so i have some audio. I have a three BN headunits but im gonna try switching to a alpine 9884 I believe it is.Red display to match car and it has crossovers built in. I wanna do the hid headlights and foglights. 5% window tint next week with the taillights being blacked out. Thats probally about it. I seriously doubt I will waste any money on 5x115 rims and Prob will not put any money into suspension.

Car has some hail damage on the hood and what not so ill prob replace the hood with a Ram air hood also.

big waste of money IMO... they will cancel eachother out... just do headlights, or even better do a retrofit

6k, 8k for fog lights? Defeats the purpose of fog ligths... and it's not HID if you just swap out the bulbs.

lol projectors suck in general, with or without hids.

Regular headlamps with hids are fine, but if you have the money do retrofits, or do retrofits by yourself.
