3000k HID in some KC fogs
I just ordered a pair of KC 26 series fog lights and i was wondering if i put some 3000k HID's in them would it blind on coming traffic since they are going to be super low. Any input. Here are some pics of what I'm planning on doing.
Random image from google with the 3000K HID for color reference http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1341/img0976if4.jpg http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/i...jpg/1/w800.png The KC's i ordered- http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...91/15221x1.gif Heres where i want to place them on the yota (under the lowest cross bar of the bar grill)- http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...816-1757-1.jpg |
No one has done this??
|
if they look anything annoying like the first pic ill be sure to give you flash with my lightforce 170s
|
Keep in mind though that those lights in the first pic do not have the diffused light pattern that the KC fogs are so thats kind of why I'm asking the question. If it turns out to blind people then i won't bother with this idea.

The law (at least here in Oregon) states that when approaching another vehicle, you must dim your headlights as well as turning off all auxiliary lights, this includes fog lights. Most vehicles come with the fogs prewired to the low beam (as my jeep does), so its not likely with a stock-like fog setup you'll get any trouble. However, throw some super bright HID's under there and I'll bet you're in for a ticket. I'll bet money them KC's aren't street legal.

You definitely can't use HID fog lights with oncoming traffic without a proper cutoff, they would be way too blinding- for use on empty roads only.
|
Ok I leave them with the regular bulbs and see how they work out.
THanks guys. |
thats a lexus is300 which has yellow lenses NOT hid in the fogs. what you want to do will prolly be fine if aimed way low.............but in the end, prolly still annoying to oncoming traffic.
|
Your right. The IS300 does come with ion crystalized bulbs in them but this dude in the pic put a 3000k HID kit. I'll just leave it the way it is. Thanks guys.
