Can I upgrade my fogs?
If I wanted to upgrade my fog lights can I just replace the bulb or do I need to replace the whole light?
The reason I ask is that I'm researching changing my headlights to a HID ACA style setup and I'd want everything to match. |

Plug and play HIDS fit in with no problem.
You'll want to match the color as close as possible. |

Super easy....
Just order up the HID bulb type (and balllast) for your C5 fog light housings. The C5 fog light housings are actually a HID housing already. They give a great light cutoff. ACA's and Fogs on the wall. Fogs only on the wall |

One of the easiest and best mods I've done.

I believe the fogs take an 899 bulb but I'm having trouble finding an 899 HID kit. I found similar 800 numbers but not sure if they will all work.

I have changed out my fogs, and installed HID'S. Love the output.

I've had PIAA 1100's since shortly after I bought the car. I thought they were super bright and white. Once I put the HID bulbs in the stock headlights, they look yellow. It's enough that it makes me want to find a set of stock fogs and put HID's in them.
I can't wait to see how yellow they look when JW's modded ACA lights get here next week. |
