Thumbs up HID golden yellow 3000k bulbs finally!

Goldenyellowhidfogs003.jpg?t=1293346113Goldenyellowhidfogs007.jpg?t=1293189977The antagonizing wait for my replacement golden yellow hid bulbs have arrived. I have installed the vinyl overlays already because I still had my 6000k white fogs in, with those the yellow fogs were more of a whitish yellow than what I desired. Today I switched them with the new golden yellow hids 3000k, I was told that I could remove the vinyl and still get the color that I wanted with just the bulbs only. However, I left it on and installed the y/golden hids anyway and I found that the color is a lot more vibrant and shows more details of objects on the roadway. The application was a simple plug and play but with the same wattage. And yes they are waterproof and shock proof!Goldenyellowhidfogs002.jpg?t=1293188909Goldenyellowhidfogs015.jpg?t=1293188909

Where did you mount the ballasts for the HID? I am thinking about installing HID for my fog light but not sure where to mount the ballast. Also, where brand HID do you have? Thanks. Alex

Where did you get the Brembo? I never knew they made them for the Fit. Was there a rear kit for it?

Also, lemme know if you are interested in the tint for the foggies as well...it's the ''real deal'', won't melt to your lenses or give you that false yellow look. Some say the tint with the hid golden yellow's will cause a greening effect...well not with these!

I like keep'n it simple!!

I simply jacked my front up so I could sit down and apply the tint without removing or unscrewing anything. If you cut your oval (tint) a little larger than your opening ( lens ), then the edges can be pressed behind the housing while you are installing with a credit card. I simply cut 1/4 of an old card and used that for the outer edges because of the small area that you'll have to work in. You can use the bigger portion of the card to work your way out from the center. PM'n ya!

Vinny
