EKinMN what kit are you running? Any plans to change out your fogs? I'm trying to decide between 5k or 6k, want something that looks like it would have come stock.

What wattage kits do you have installed for your fogs? Everything I have read on here said 35w is OK and should be the Max wattage used... I also get that a 25w kit is preferred for those who are really worried.

They are 35k, same as my headlights. Im thinking that the housing for my truck are weaker for some reason because my brother has the same exact ones on his 01 chevy and has had no problems.

How often do you run them? I've been thinking about doing the mod that makes your fogs come on with the DTRLs.

I used them quite a bit. Especially when I first got them because I loved blinding everyone, and watching people cover their mirrors with their hand or hat amused me greatly :twisted: The housing isn't like jello or anything but you can see signs of it getting a bit hot in there

When that picture was taken, I was running Krypton's. I believe they are out of business (for good reason). I now have HIDGuy...our sponsor here.
