Default Upgraded H11 fogs to 3000k Xenon

Simple upgrade, kit cost $60 (get the one with the slim ballasts)
Swap out the bulbs and 3m tape the ballast to the inside of the bumper. 10 minute job



a little "rice" never hurt anyone!

Yes, where did you get it at and is it a 35w bulb? Does it throw a bulb out warning on the instrument cluster?

I have the Hoen fogs and really hate them. I feel ripped off because of all of the talk about them, so I finally broke down and bought them. I was told you can't really see the blue reflection but you can and it's always bothered me. Sixty bucks for your setup is seems like a great deal.

let us know!

Yeah - EVERYONE ON EVERY BOARD Hoen this and Hoen that. I've had them before and was not that impressed.

The fog lights I guess are not as voltage sensitive as the headlights because ive had them for a month and no fault codes

I got them from ebay (they ship from California) and they lowered the price to $40 shipped - can't beat that

I got the 3000k Yellow btw

Can't really tell from the phots but how do they compare to the xenon headlamps or the LEDs?

Have you ran the fogs for any extended period? Is there any kind of heat issue?

Hi, I'm new and haven't really looked on the forums to much yet but was wondering. I just bought a pair of halogen headlights with the 8000k xenon install already done. Going by what i'm reading am i gonna get these error codes and if so is there a fix? I have the 2010 A5. Thanks
