HID's in fogs
#13
yes if u put a 55watt 6000kelvin bulb in your fogs you risk the potential for melting your fog housing and burning down your car. Also if u plan on getting a 55watt 6000k for the low beams then u m ight want to get a 35 watt 4500k for the fogs so they will match as the higher wattage will wash out a little bit of the color and not match.

yea that sounds about right. I have the 35 watt all around in my car but i know i heard that the 55 watt and 35 watt wont match if u get the same kelvin temp. Should work out though the way u say. Might do soem reasearch before just to verify before u purchase.

No, it won't. Direct wattage comparisons between halogen and HID aren't applicable. 55w halogens draw that power to illuminate. Xenon bulbs are driven by a transformer that steps up voltage from 12v (supplied by the car) to 22,000v for bulb ignition and steady-state 75/85v for continued operation. The ballasts only require a 35w draw on the car to get enough juice to create that much voltage.
