02 HIDs in the fogs

[kbi83]

can this be done on the 02 oem fogs? ive seen them in the round ones but not the ones on the 02 and older... if so what size do i need?

thx for the help

 

[AquinoSteven]

Yes they do work. 880 or 9145. I have 9145 8000k Hids left over. Some kid didnt pay me. PM me if ya want them.

 

[kbi83]

did u do your high an lows or just lows?

 

[AquinoSteven]

I just have lows because im running 5000K. The last couple trucks ive done had 8000k lows and fogs and 5000k highs. The 5000ks are brighter then the 8000k

i have 55w ddm 6k in my fogs. bright for no reason
some ppl say not to use 55w in the fogs. i havent had an issue yet... no melting or anything. they've never been on over an hour at a time though

Do you, or most other people, have the fogs wired to the lows so that when your headlights come on your fogs do too? Is that pretty easy to do?

fogs were really easy...plug and play, no need for relay since you turn fogs on manually.

ive got em in my 01, just mount the ballast as high as possible. also the factory housings leak like crazy i have gone through 3 sets

I've got the 35w 6k in my fogs and had no issues so far. Had them for almost a year now.

Just had one of mine go out. No idea why. I noticed this morning and haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Had them in for about a year. Love them.

Our body style fog light are horrible. They leak and blow bulbs all the time. Lucky i can replace them for free

you can wire them to your lows but i just press the fog light button....

so I got my DDM HID 880 for my fogs. I went to install them and it seems like the bulb is too long for the fog housing. Anyone else have this problem. I compared the stock 880 bulb with the HID bulb and the HID bulb is a little longer. It hits the fog reflector and bent it a little. Did they send the wrong bulb or is there a solution for this?

 

[Tahoewhat]

sounds like they sent the wrong one. Is there a number on the bulb, like the black part of it. Some of them are molded into that black rubber housing. But mine went in just fine didnt hit anything.

 

[polobuds]

thanks mike. should it look similar to the stock bulb? Does your fog HID bulb look like that? there's nothing on the bulb to indicate what type it is, but the box it came in said 880.

 

[droppedHoe]

i have 55w fogs so my lights are longer than stock. i broke the reflector off...
gonna get these in 2-3 weeks.

yeah should go right in. Looks like the actual bulb is wrong one. Like maybe for a low, headlight. I dont know. Thinking about it, i do believe mine just went right in, no problems. I'll see if i can take a look today for ya and see. But i know i didnt hit the reflector.

Droppedhoe--- i thought 55w lights were just the ballast, being 55 or 35. Are the lights longer? thought it was same lights... ummmm maybe that is what is wrong oliver, maybe they sent the 55w lights.

 

[polobuds]

thanks tahoe. i'm gonna see if they fit in the stock fog lights. i've heard stories about DDM sending wrong products, but this would seem pretty simple. i dont want to have to take out the reflector. Yeah, if you have time, take a pic of your HID fog bulb. No worries if not.

Thanks bro!

I had to pull the lens off and pull the reflector out, forced them in there the first time but after sitting on the reflector for 8 months one burned out and the reflector had black burn marks on it so I just removed it. Didn't notice much difference in light output without the reflector either
