Did some work on the car. Put the brass gears in the headlight motor, adjustable lcas, new brake lines all around, fixed header gasket, list goes on.

Anyways here's a few visual changes that also took place.

Whered you get the HID kit for the foglights? I have an HID kit but it wont fit. It only fits my Dodge. I want to HID in the fogs and leave the headlights alone for now.

This the one I used:

Just remember that the pigtail from your harness to the ballast plugs up backwards from the clip fitment.

Thats almost the same one i have for the dodge except its an H4 bulb and the ballast is a little bigger. I tested them on the camaro and the bulbs work, but of course the housing did not fit. How did you get the 9006 bulb in there, is it a lot smaller? Or did you fab up your own housing for the fogs?

It's an 880 bulb no fab needed.

Yes but you have to plug it in 180 out the for them to work. If egay is last resort type "880 slim hid kit" into amazon.com search bar. You'll pay more for the same thing but that's your choice.

Yeah was reading old threads on ls1tech on them and they say the same thing about plugging them in at 180.

The company my shop uses for the under 100 kit is Azone. Great bulbs. The 6k is such an awesome color. I used the Azone on my lowbeams and fogs and fuckin LOVE them. Im using the more expensive German kit we get with the digital ballasts on the bike. Alittle pricier but fitting the smaller ballast in the fairings is key. lol

If you cant find any decent kits let me know. I can get you the Azone kit for like 75 bucks.

Try installing them on the German cars like the BMWs and the Benzs. You have to use a secondary harness with built in capacitors so that the computer, which sends pulses to the lights so it can tell whether one is out or not, thinks the stock lights are still there and on. Otherwise the car puts the message up on the dash that there is a light out and then cuts power off to the circuit so that no short circuits can happen.
