the way i wired the kit up.
Spore 03-12-2009, 04:58 AM I'm just going to imagine that you actually retrofitted a HID fog projector and used a D2S capsule. I wish you good luck that your ballast won't short circuit and burn.

blah0r 03-19-2009, 04:26 AM you are not the first to do this...
sorrowfulkiller 03-19-2009, 08:37 PM If you want that to last, find some way to get more airflow across the backside of the bulb.
Otherwise you will see what others have posted. as you can see the results aren't pretty

lyellowdragonl 03-19-2009, 11:28 PM im running hid in my fogs and havent had a problem at all for over 2 years now
dont forget that alot of the times its the installers fault in shorting the wires out

and its also the installers fault for installing something that completely defeats the purpose of the item....

now youre going to get water intrusion into the housing. this will destroy the bulb, and possibly short out. not something you want with high voltage current
