A Lesson Learned With 2006+ Fog Lights......
#17
Don't know what tasca's charging, but these are the ones I picked up after I melted my housings as well. fog housing I haven't had any problems. But make sure when you check out you have one Driver side and one Passenger side as they ARE different.

I'm going back to a stock type of headlamp housing also....getting rid of the European halos.....side light is not the greatest.....
No HIDs.....the housing reflectors aren't focused for them.

Yes you can.....but with changing out bulb types/styles a person doesn't take into account the focal point of the curvature of the reflector to maintain the proper focal point.....HIDs in the wrong housings= a lot of scattered light without the proper cut off. I'm trying not to go this route....as it seems to **** off oncoming drivers

Yes it does.

I have HID's in both my heads and fogs. And after reaiming both I have not been flashed even one time. I even had my grandmother get in her car and let me pass her to see if it was blinding at all. She said it was not =) But to each their own buddy. You do what you want with your ride.
I got flashed once when I first installed them before I aimed them. I haven't been flashed once since I took the time to properly aim them. It's funny people are quick to flash someone when their brights are on but then excuses get made by people on here as to why they aren't flashing you with your plug and play kit, like for some reason the HID's blind them so bad that it also brain washes them into not doing it...Come on, really? If the headlights are too bright people DO NOT hesitate to flash you. And I haven't gotten flashed since the first time I installed them before re-aiming.

I have retrofit HIDs now and was just flashed for the second time since installation. I just flashed my brights to show them I'm not running with my high beams on and I could care less if I was blinding them. Besides, the vehicle was a Buick Rendezvous so it wasn't even a car, I couldn't have possibly been blinding them anyway. I have driven 5 ft behind cars taking my brother to school and my lights aren't even above their trunks.

Anyway I put hid capped front bulbs in my fogs and they still glare like crazy. To the point I don't even use them. So to anyone don't waste your money on bulb capping.
