HID Xenon Fog Lights

[RCZ-Performance]

ONLY answer YES if you are serious about buying a conversion kit as I am seeing if I can do a group buy from my distributor to offer a better price than I currently do on my website. Currently I sell these kits for £85.99 per-kit (any colour range, shipped, includes VAT). Just like any group buy, the more we get to buy, the lower the price.

If you are not interested, you can either say NO or not vote at all.

The kit is easy to install. The hardest part is getting to the fog lights within the wheel-well. The ballast goes between the factory wiring and the new HID bulb. You then secure the bulb in the lens. Using the provided mounting kit, you secure the ballast. If you can get to the fog lights, then you can install it. If not, really any mechanic could do this for you, trust me. I did mine under an hour. So I have asked the question if you can install yourself or need it installed (I don't want to put anyone off from doing this great upgrade just because they are not wanting to do the work themselves). But before you ask, I can't tell you how much it will cost to install the kit, this will be between you and your mechanic. But know that I want to help anyone out I can that owns an RCZ, especially those that want to personalize it, so I can provide installation instructions to you and/or your mechanic.

You have 3 selections to make. So please choose either YES or NO, the COLOUR you want, and INSTALL preference.

If you answer YES, please PM me with what colour and install preference you selected, as the Poll does not show me who voted and for what.

Once the Poll is over I will contact each of you with details.

Thanks

Re: HID Fog Lights

Only if someone else was to fit them. Then I'd go for the 6000K. No way would I attempt it myself.

Good point and I can look into this as well. To be honest they are easy to do, the hardest part is getting to the fog lights. The ballast goes between the factory wiring and to the new bulb. Connect them up, install the bulbs in the lens, secure the ballasts (kit comes with brackets), and you are done.

So if you are interested in the conversion please vote. I will then see about the installation based upon that answer on the poll (just added).

Re: HID Fog Lights

Is it a plug and go kit ie you plug the OEM wired fitting plug into the ballast then the link from the ballast to another plug/bulb holder then fit and also how bright are they compared to the 6000k phillips hid bulbs you upgraded to?

Yes exactly that, easy install!

They look great with my Phillips 6000K, glad I made the change to HID on my Fog's. What really sold me on these was when I drove through the windy village roads, as soon as I turned on the fog lights I could see the sides of the road much better. This came really handy for the village I live in where there is a 90 degree turn with houses on both sides and a small curb for the narrow path. It is easy to curb a wheel at that point, but I can see those curbs easily now :thumbup:

We're getting there slowly but surely. So far 3 people wanting to be in on this opportunity, thank you. Still got over a week to go so hopefully we can get a few more so that I can do a better price.

It does seem an expensive item for something that will be used so rarely, ie. When visibility is below 100m.

Ron, I see your point, I can only say that when you need good lighting then this is a well worth investment. As mentioned in my previous posts about upgrading my lights, it was necessary because of where I live. Also to me seeing yellow lights along with white ones is just wrong, and so changing the fog lights as well was for both reasons of having extra visibility and all white lights. I looked at this the same way as I do with the exhaust, you just got to balance the car out :thumbup:

I would absolutely consider doing this but as far as I can see you still do not ship to Germany? Any chance of that changing soon?

 

[RCZ-Performance]

I do now ship internationally. Email me at [email protected] with your address so that I can provide you with final cost.

Thanks

Please post instructions and photos.

Please post instructions and photos.

Sorry no pictures but here are the instructions:

You will need:
- small screw driver
- 3mm allen key
- car jack and lug wrench (to remove the wheels if you do not have access to a lift)
- torch

1. Remove the wheel, so you will need to jack the car up (one side at a time).

2. Use the 3mm allen key to loosen the 2 screws that are attached to the plastic wheel arch housing to the bumper (under front bumper).

3. Carefully take out the 2 plastic studs using the small screw driver that are in close proximty to the 2 screws you have just taken out.

4. Work your way up from the bumper end of the wheel arch taking no more than 6 plastic studs out, 8 in total.

5. Using the small screw driver, pry open the wheel arch underneath the bumper, this only needs to pryed open to the middle of each wheel arch.

6. You can now pull back the plastic arch to reveal the foglamp.

7. Unclip the plug (time to use the torch to see what you are doing).

8. Turn the lamp holder anti-clockwise and remove the original bulb.

9. Install the new bulb and connect it and the original wiring harness to the ballast.

10. Test light for functionality. Make sure all connections are tight and secure.

11. Secure the ballast using the mounting bracket supplied.

12. Put the 2 screws back in first and restud from the bottom up, the plastic wheel arch housing does drop a little when the studs are taken out so apply pressure upwards when replacing the studs back in.

13. Put wheel back on.

14. Job done or repeat on other side.
