Stock 96 fog housing HID retrofit

So i had d2r bulbs and balasts laying arround and 2 blown foglight bulbs so i decided to retrofit the D2R sockets into my stock fog housings.

Here are the results

by the way I used the Reflectors and Sockets are from a 2002 Nissan Maxima that the bulbs and balasts came from :-D

This should be good, cant wait to see the pics of this...


At least you used a D2R bulb and not a D2S, it might help cut down on glare....

Your pass side fog light is aimed into the ground....


Is it me, or does the inside of the fog light have a pretty crappy reflective surface? Definitely not very shiny....

Yup kinda crappy reflection and yea it was aiming down since the mounting brackets are broken so i now silliconed the lights to the bumper now aiming up a bit more :-D

just an FYI you can get brand new depo fog lights on ebay for like 50 bucks or something, they come with everything, brackets, bulbs, harness.... I know the fog brackets on my friends 97 were really rusted and the bolts were rusted so bad they were stripping when I was trying to get them out...


Plus, every 95-98 I've seen has at least one totally black and crappy fog light, and one broken or missing one... Being that yours is a 96, I'm sure the fogs weren't in the best shape to start with, so it might not be a bad idea....



just sayin
