Default Fog Lights . . . .

I have been away so long I forgot my password

Anyway , I need to replace one fog light. And I figured if I replaced
one why not change out both , upgrade a tad.

Any one of you professional's here have any suggestions or advise?

Thanks in Advance.

PS: I read on a previous post a topic on Transmissions, I have a question
about Hard Shifting. But I will start a new Post fist chance I get.

Well I dont fancy myself an expert, but I will share what I'm doing...first of all I don"t recommend high wattage lightbulbs anything over 55w and they have a short life. Itjust isn't worth the price nor hassle of having to switch out the burned bulbs every few months.

I will post pics later this week. Basically I removed the foglights opened them up and replace the OEM miniprojector with a full size of Bosch projectors. I sealed back up & re-wired them upto an D2S hid kit. I think I have some pics already posted? I"ll do a full writewith pics later this week.

If you dont want to go through all the hassle you could get an H11 hid kit and call it a day.
