Ziza Yellow Foglights

[sleeprr]

Just installed some Ziza yellow H7 foglights on my 2004 A6 and thought I'd share. Didn't like the xenon headlights and halogen foglights combo. Hope these cut through all the fog we've got up here in the northwest. What do ya think?

Looks cool

Never was a huge fan of the yellow fogs on any car. I'm more of a match the headlights to fog lights kind of guy.

I hear you on that but at the price of HID matching fogs (100-150) and all the rocks on the road from winter here, I'm asking to replace those quite often. Thought these would switch things up a bit.

Sweet!

[Sobegod00]

That looks pretty good. I've been thinking of doing the same since I do a lot of night driving. Definitely something to look into.

awesome .. i have the same gray car with the yellow fog...

wondering how you cut out the cover of the fog housing?!?!?!

i used a big matel screw driver , heat it up and push a hole throught it...

Pardon my ignorance -- Zizas are LEDs? What is difference (yellow) vs stock for visibility in fog (as opposed to aesthetics, nonfog conditions).

Nope just incandescent. Ziza

Brilliant! [golf clap]

I started using 3K(yellow) HID's in my fogs a few months back. I have to say that they cut through everything. Fog/rain/snow/wet pavement, doesn't matter. When the low/high beams fail, the fogs always give me road to view. I guess I never appreciated them on my IS, but man prefacelift C5 projectors suck. They don't light the road at all. Yellow fogs helped A LOT. When I had 4300K HID fogs, they were bright. They struggled as you would expect though when the weather wasn't ideal.

I did it also....I love the look, especially on the racing green.

Not sure what you are saying that I cut cause the car comes stock with those covers for the foglights.

[KTG]

sorry, I actually used yellow film

I think what he is asking about is the method you used to make the hole in the back of the foglight housing to run the wiring for the HIDs.

Looks good, man! I've been thinking about the same thing. Actually, I am contemplating yellow headlights as well. hmmm....

I think yellow headlights would be too much and wouldn't light up the road very good unless it's 24/7fog where you live lol.

I didn't cut anything regarding to the fog lights, they are projectors(I believe) and I just switched out the stock H7 bulbs for these.

[Grig85]

they look great man, I think I wanna do that for my avant

[Fade2Black]

Where did you get the film ?

[MYDWAGON]

Ebay

Guess you don't drive in the fog much.
Yellow really helps with visibility.

[2.slowT]

I have some yellow fog film for sale in the classifieds.

I swapped out the worthless, pre-facelift incandescent fogs for 4500K Hids. They are the shit for the snow I drive through all the time. When it does not snow, I am keeping a sharp eye out for Elk and deer, so they work great as driving lights too. Well worth the $65 they cost.

I just used a 1" spade bit, which made a perfect hole for the HID gasket.

Yea I don't. I'm a pretty new driver as well but we don't get too much fog here in Philly.

[sleeprr]

we get fog here in north idaho like 4 months out of the year, so they are definately a plus

I installed yellow PIAA Ion Crystal bulbs yesterday. I couldn't be happier with the aesthetics and performance so far.
27 bucks each

[Fade2Black]

I liked the Piaa's but they blew out too much and I couldn't justify replacing them so often.

Uh-oh How much is too much? I've never ran them before.

[onewicked]

i bought 3000k yellow hids with the slim ballast off ebay for $70 new. couldnt be happier and they are going on 2 years now

[Spray Em]

Nice.. I have some on order and was looking for a pic.. looks good

[sleeprr]

thanks, I might wanna another set for backup if these go out, where did you order them from?

[4ringAR]

Yellow fog lights club! I have Nokya "2500K" Hyper Yellow Bulbs. I think they look sweet, oh and they are better for fog/rain/snow.

[Fade2Black]

Uh-oh How much is too much? I've never ran them before.

Went through 2 sets in a year and half.

[Fade2Black]

Went with some 3m film

[joelhski]

I went with PIAA Ion Yellow for my fogs and I did see an increase in visibility with bad weather. I do like the look also.

OOOO

That may be what he is asking, but no one here is talking about HID fogs, those are halogen.

I hear you on that but at the price of HID matching fogs (100-150) and all the rocks on the road from winter here, I'm asking to replace those quite often. Thought these would switch things up a bit.

You only need to buy halogens with the same color temperature to match your HIDs, you don't need to do a HID conversion to get the color to match.

[seishuku]

Fog lights that aren't yellow are just driving lights...

This is something that I'm planing on doing soon too, but I'm not sure if I want to do HID... A nice heavy (thick, to protect the lenses) yellow tint and some bulbs that are more "white" than OEM would help a LOT... Maybe even a slightly higher wattage.
