Thread: HID's in aftermarket fogs (Discussion)

they're 4" and $80 for a pair

I just put my most recent retro in my car to see if I have to adjust anything. I for the life of me couldn't get the bi-xenon solenoid to drop the cutoff shield. Had the pins in the relay harness azz backwards. Now I have it functioning but not properly.

My fogs are not on with my low beam projectors. When I hit the hi beams my HID fogs come on. I kinda like it like this to be honest with you because the low beam is PLENTY bright without the HID fogs on, plus they won't always be on overheating and or taking the chance of melting anything. I don't think they get hot enough to melt anything but I just put them in about a week ago.

All I have to do is swap 2 of the three wires in the 9007 bi-xenon relay harness to put it back to OEM spec where the fogs shut off when hi-beams are activated. I've been working on headlights for about 4 days in a row and my brain is fried. I wish I had glass oem fogs just in case they do start getting to hot. Is the 97-98 gp's only have plastic lenses and then the 99-03 have glass lenses?

I'm pretty sure they are all plastic. Mine is an 01 and has plastic fog lights.

You don't want pure glass either, cause then you risk the chance of them breaking from rocks. The clear Autopia ones are some kind of hardened glass/plexi and have held up well to rocks and haven't broken..

Halogen H3 bulb vs HID H3 bulb,
The end of the HID H3 bulb is much longer which makes it impossible to run on the autopia lights.


H3C HID bulbs are much shorter and probably would work. I have not tried a set of H3C bulbs though..
