HID question in Fog Light spot DRL - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys just a quick question if anyone has done this before, I currently have LEDs in my DRL location, they aren't bright at all, seriously, I know HID's will really ramp up the brightness, but my question is, are they too hot?

The housing cover in the '14 is glass so I know it won't melt, but what about the surrounding? Does anyone here have HID's in their DRL location and run into any issues? THANKS

I have hid's with no problems in my 14.

Just wondering, where did you guys mount the ballasts for the HIDs? I have had a set from Diode for a while now.

I stuck them to the inside of the front bumper on the bottom. Attached them with double sided tape. Perfect spot, relatively easy to get to and they don't move around at all.

Thanks a lot cabbe!!! Did you remove the front bumper as well??

Nope, just reached in through the wheel well. Just open the front wheel liner.
