Default Re: Bad experience with DDM Tuning HIDs

I'll be sure to aim them down properly to avoid blinding people. I had a poll regarding this question; some thought it would be too bright and some thought they wouldn't.

Although I'm forced to agree that 55W is pretty bright. The fog lights actually drown out the halogen headlights except for distance. I haven't gotten flashed yet luckily.

Unfortunately the fog lamps have filled up with water So now I have to take them off, clean them out and figure out why they leaked. I suspect it's the HID bulbs. They probably don't have a rubber seal on them like the factory halogen ones do. I think I'll be looking at a different company for HIDs in the future.

Yeah, that's not too hard. As I understand it, the 9004 and 9007 are identical except where the 3 wires go in the plug.

Are you talking about those lock rings that hold the bulbs against the back of the headlight housings?

On another note, Does anyone know how to remove the round fog lights that are in the 2008 to 2011 SPORT models? They are completely different from everything I've looked at on this forum using the search function. I'll try and get a pic of the back of one.
