HID Foglights - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I want to change my factory foglights (or shouold I say bogus ass daytime running lights) to an HID fog kit. The problem is that I don't want my fog lights to be brighter than my HID factory headlights. I want them to be similar in brightness.....Any suggestions?

the factory drl's will melt if you put hid's in them you need the aftermarket hid fogs from AACstyle.com that have glass lenses

Yeah I was planning on changing the entire set up.

The melting thing is not true if you use the right kit. I have been running HID fogs for 5 months now. As I posted before you need to use a true 25watt kit. I have had 0 issues.
As far as them not being brighter then your factory HIDs. They will be brighter. There is nothing there to deflect the beam. So they will be brighter.
