DIY: Euro Smiley Ellipsoid + Foglight HID Install with *PICS*

Good to know. And it'll still blink? Awesome.

yes. its a dual filament bulb, with power given only to the blinking filament when the stalk is switched. so you can block the always running filament, then it will still blink the brighter one with your signals activated.

Wow, that's awesome, I never knew that. I always hated how they come on with my city lights.

Bump.

A few months strong now, through rain and all: ZERO condensation issues.

Highly recommended mod to the headlights and fog lights. Driving other cars at night now just feels... inadequate.

I'll get night shots soon!!

Butt connectors. "Stock wire" comes into original connector on cap. Inside of cap, the leads are now connected to wires that go OUT to ballast INSTEAD OF onto a halogen H1 bulb and its grounding post. Basic wiring of your choice: solder and shrink-tube or butt connectors.

I will get night shots one of these days. I promise.

no need for night shots. proof that HIDs > halogen is silly. everyone should just do it! when i get a different car, the first $75 i spend modding will be on HIDs, thats for sure.

I think the night shots are more for a final product visual, and coloring, not so much for proof of blinding power, lol. Point taken though. I'll get some up soon.
