their quality is top notch for the price. Lots of folks on the Audi boards run them with no problems. It's also the set I will be purchasing.
My question is why would you put HIDs in your fog lights? It defeats the purpose of foglights. Have you ever driven in a hard driving rain, snow, or fog, with HIDs?? It refracts the light everywhere making it extremely hard to see. Even worse than turning your brights in in a fog or snow.
If you want to use fogs for their actual use then get yourself some yellow halogens.
But if it's just for the look factor then go for it.

I know how people say you have to mod your H1 socket when people don't realize that a 9006 bulb fits into the stock foglight on my 99 Ex.

When i first went through the trouble of H1 bulbs in my foglights my buddy bought 9006s for his foglights...when i couldnt make the H1s work i tried the 9006s for ***** and giggles they went in perfect, i turned em a little then put some sticky puddy on there to make sure they stayed. 9006 bulbs work...just like for 9145 bulbs you can use 9005s.

Check what your foglight bulb type is for your truck and tell me what it is.

I have H1 and they fit fine...I added silicone to make sure they stayed tight and air tight.
