I searched and found nothing on this exact type of fogs, but I'm interested. I was browsing through the BavAuto catalog and saw these, under the "performance lighting upgrades" section on the website, and thought they looked sick! I saw HuGo's post of his and thought they looked real ugly, but these look different cuz the housing is actually glass/clear plastic as opposed to black plastic. Anyone think they're worth it? __________________  |  |  | | 04-07-2008, 03:34 AM | #2 | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Takoma Park Posts: 16 |

i liked those too a while back. i found those king on ebay for cheaper. same looks and everything. hard to find but its there if you look. dont know how they look lit up tho. Hugo's were the UGLIEST projection fogs ever. no offense hugo. but he got them replaced. those are WAY nicer than hugo's old ones. i say go for it. __________________

With tax returns comin back and stuff I just might go for it. They're $150 for the pair w/ H7 bulbs from BavAuto. Even though I can probably find them cheaper I like BavAuto...they seem to always get me my stuff on time with no gambles. __________________ | | | | | 04-07-2008, 03:45 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |

Yeah..I can see where SDK is coming from. I like the way my fogs look just fine, but I'd be getting these more for their functionality than the looks. __________________ | | | | | 04-07-2008, 04:13 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
Why would they be functional? You dont want bright fog lights. The more light that you project in foggy conditions the worse visibility is because there is more light bouncing off the water in the air. __________________

@ SDK, I don't just use my fogs in the fog. Despite their name I don't restrict them to that use only. I typically turn on my fogs every time I have my regular lights on..and my regular lights are stock so their not as bright as they could be. In my eyes this is a cheaper way to make my lowbeams brighter without buying new ones haha...if that makes sense? __________________ | | | | | 04-07-2008, 04:47 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

Me too, my fog lights are hooked up to turn on with my low beams. | | | | | 04-07-2008, 05:45 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |
do you guys have a separate knob for the fogs? i have two knobs for the lights. one for the parking lights and low beams, the other is for the fogs. it appears its factory. __________________

i hate it when people say fog lights are only for fog conditions i had my HID fogs on all the time I like those projector fogs the only thing i dont like is that it doesnt look OEM. The black housing IMO is a kill other than that get them and get yourself some 3000k HIDs to match __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last
