HID fogs are wildly unsafe. These are a legal and focused beam pattern meaning you’re not blinding oncoming drivers like you are now.
I know they can be very unsafe, when they are pointed up and into traffic. Trust me, mine are in a safe position. I've done many tests with my wife driving towards me and they are good. 85% of the time I'm out in the country and I can certainly use all the light I can get.
Then you’re more dangerous than you think, because a fog light housing has a lot of bleed up, so either they are dangerously pointed up into oncoming traffic, or they’re pointed down to the point of being ineffective. I won’t debate this with you, the fact (read: not opinion) is that the stock fog housings are nowhere near adequate for an HID bulb and are wildly unsafe. You choose to do what you want, but at least be educated on the subject.
I got 4 stainless key rings and threaded them through the mounting holes on the resistors then zip tied them around the bumper brace as far forward as a good too avoid water splashing on them. This way the resistors aren’t touching the zip ties and the heat has some space to dissipate before reaching the plastic ties. The key rings don’t get hot to the touch so I think its working great. Other people are using 4 inch hose clamps. I didn’t have any laying around so I might do that come spring.Heres my quick review ....
#1 complaint is having to modify stock brackets to accommodate the morimoto fogs..... I ended up breaking a tab in the process . For 250$ they should come with their own bracket already installed on the light .....
#2 I had to add a washer to allow the adjuster spring to function as it should without binding up .
#3 they should have sent self tapping screws with the lights to mount the resistors .. or metal zip ties .
I have yet to mount the resistors .... Anyone have a good spot or method to mount them? I'm all ears!
Haven't tried them at night yet so light output isn't able to be commented on yet

Here's where I mounted mine with self tappers. Wasn't to bad, was able to get up in there with a small dewalt impact driver and get the self tappers in.Heres my quick review ....

based on what logic? it's an entirely new housing, self-contained, plug and play with harnesses and resisters included, and it is custom-designed for this specific vehicle. where else are you finding a like-product for less?
How do you figure? They’re not bulbs they’re housings. It would be the same price if you bought led bulbs and new factory housings.
Awesome! I'm gonna copy that this week! Thank you!
Can get used housing off ebay for $50. Bulbs for $20. Your paying for the name. Bulbs are made by the same chinese manufacturer...CREE
