Fogs definitely do make a difference. I have KCs on the bumper and KCs on the roof rack. I turn everything on and blind my friends when I see them on the road at night

The angel eyes have two wires with a connector at the end of them. the connector then goes to a small ballast which has a positive and negative lead. I don't think the angel eyes are able to wire into the parking lights as the parking lights are only two wires and also operate the turn signals. You could wire it in, but your angel eye would blink whenever you hit the turn signal lol.

Personally, I would wire them to a fog light switch or something. As for installing the angel eyes so they go around your headlight projectors, I would just attach them around the projector shroud using either some plastic model glue, or some clear silicone. Both methods work
Killer man. Check out the setup that I want to do and tell
Me if I will have enough room for them in the regular diamond cut housings. ........
Gatling gun 2.0 shrouds
Morimoto d2s bi-xeon. Projectors
Ccfl angel eyes
6000k bulbs


Last one is just a retrofit diamond cut but looks nice.

Nice setup. I'd run 5000k if I were you, I had 6000k before and it wasn't as bright. Everything should fit inside the housings, but you might have to do some trimming on the shrouds to get them to fit. I had to trim my shrouds quite a bit lol.

You can do that. I used sheet metal screws to hold it in place. After you fasten it to the housing, lay a nice bead of silicone around where the projector meets the housing. After the silicone dries, put foil tape around the rear of the projector and the housing. It will be completely soild as a unit.

Check the turn signal fuse. If it isn't blown, replace the flasher relay.
