FunkyMonkey Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I think I broke the ballast for my HID fog lights. The adhesive detached from my ballast under the bumper and was hanging for a few days while I was driving until I got motivated enough to reattach it. I rewired the part where I connect the wires to the ballast and the fog light wont turn on anymore. If the ballast gets knocked around, can it break and stop functioning ?

laz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 You look at aftermarket HID ballasts wrong and they break. Get a new one. And HID's in the fog lights, you are one of those huh? X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 You should HIDs for your high beams instead. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The 3k hids are even more annoying! There is a reason why it killed itself out of its misery! X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ResidentRedneck Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 theres 2 different types of people with yellow fogs. the "cool kids", and the "not from the city" drivers. i have them because driving down a back road in the pouring rain with the closest street light being 75 miles away sucks. yellow fogs ACTUALLY do help see in the rain. the color dosent get absorbed by the rain, letting you see the road better. then theres the OMG YELLOW FOGS IM SO JDM LOOK AT MA YELLOW FOGS kids. just throwing my .02 in.

laz Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I drive through dark roads, and sometimes the JDMCOOLKIDZ come from the other side with 8K HID's and the yellow 3K in their driving lights. They are not the same as yellow fog lights. Nothing but glare and blinding lights for the oncoming traffic! Driving lights are not fog lights, no matter how yellow they look!

ResidentRedneck Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I.don't know what you're talking about, but the 2 4.5 inch lights under the headlights are fog lights. Which is the only place I've ever seen anyone put 3ks. As for your glare, they need to be re-adjusted to be functional.

Strizzy Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 HIDs for highbeams is pointless, unless you are using bi-xenon projectors. Get a set of HIR bulbs for the highbeams. Re-aim your fog lights. They come from the factory pointed down. Don't bother opening a HID ballast unless you are familiar with soldering under a microscope. Get your replacements from http://www.theretrofitsource.com/ They have the best quality components for the price. You will end up spending more on cheap replacements, rather than buying once and never having to worry about them again. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
