    Default Projector Fog Lights

    i was looking @ these and i was just wonderig, are they only good for hid's or will they also look good with Phillips Globes?

    also i have cheap china fog lights at the moment, and they were already on the car when i brought it off my brother, they just wernt wired so i have wired them with the relay it came with etc. and can't seem to find the box, so i am also wondering, are all fog lights H3? they are yellow and dont match my head lights so i was thinking of getting white globes.

    Thanks

    hey mate honestly foglights are useless, you are better off trying to find a driving light that fits which has a different beam pattern and wire the relay up to your highbeam instead. i have re-wired the foglights in my ss to highbeam but i need to find new lights that arent fogs because the beam pattern is so low which makes them pretty useless

    If you have the money I highly recommend Hids I've had them b4 and I could see clear as day in country areas if your going to be in city areas that have street lights it's not really worth the effort

    Just to clear it up, foglights are for fog/rain/low visibility light only. As far as I know it is also illegal to use them outside of those conditions. Don't be a twat to other drivers by having them on with your other lights.
