My DC5S

[ZIPPIE Type-S]

Did you test it with normal globes or did you put the hid straight on? Im contemplating whether to put hids in my fog lights. Wondering if its worth it.

Unless you are going to run HIDs with projectors you will be better off staying with the halogen globes,
hids are only 35watts so with out projectors they dont do much at all..
Am contemplating removing the HIDs and running the halogen globes...

[ZIPPIE Type-S]

Just a quick update..
Removed the HID lights from the fog lights..

the lighting was really crappy from them without projector lenses..
Replaced them with 55watt halogen globes.

OH waht a difference they made
Still need to align them, but have to remove the front lip to get the covers off to get to the aligning screws

I prefer the halogen globes. Looks good man.

Can't quite see on my phone. Is your new shifter a piston?
Cool if it is! Fog lights look great BTW

Yes the new shifter nob is a piston from a CR80,
Made it for my torana years ago..

Yes the fog lights look heaps better with the halogen globes in them..
