Anyone have picts of the Hella 90mm fog / DRL projectors installed (on AAC's website)
Just wondering if anyone has installed the Hella 90mm projectors in the factory fog / DRL location?
AAC lists a kit "modified to fit the 2010 Camaro Fog Lights" here http://www.automotivelightstore.com/CamaroFogKit.aspx If anyone has installed these, how did the install go? What modifications were needed? Is there a clear cutoff for HID's? The housing part #'s listed elsewhere on their site are actually a bulk part # ("Qty: 36" from Hella's info flyer) for another part # that is listed as a Halogen lamp, not Xenon. If it has a clear cut off then it's fine, but if not I'd still be worried that it would still have too much glare for oncoming drivers. I was going to go the LED route until I read about all the problems everyone is having, so back to looking at HID again. |

Or anyone found other proper HID projector units that fit well in the stock location?

Thanks, that's just the one with the factory non-RS housings correct?
25w just seems a little weak, but it sounds like the factory housings (both RS & non) too small for much more... |

Does it just use the stock wiring setup, or add a switch, or not use the factory plugs at all?
Have you checked if the glare is bad for oncoming traffic? |

I'm hoping spencerhids 25w 5k 5202 kit will be "not as bright" for nighttime use. I didn't want to try 35 watt halogen 5202 bulbs since they may melt the housing, even though they're not as bright as HIDs. If all else fails, I'll go back to a high powered/bright designed led solution. 5202 has so much more options than p13w. |
