have you had any problems with the HIDs melting the plastic lenses of the fog light assembly?

Real HID’s produce less heat than regular conventional head/fog lights bulbs.

Man, you should get a set to this guy for his SRT8 so he can add them to his write up along with the light meter readings and all that jazz:

I am pretty sure he would be happy to help...

So a few weeks ago I picked up a set of those blue colored 9005 fog light bulbs. MikeR came by and I showed him the new bulbs. I went in the house and when I came back outside Mike had installed MY new bulbs in his car 
anyway they look pretty good.
so I was going to order another set of the blue bulbs but Greg posted up about his HID kit so I ordered up a set and I've had them sitting in the garage...Mike came by I showed him the kit. He thought they looked too blue from the pics in this thread and said I should have just got the blue bulbs. Anyway we decided to put the HID kit in tonight and when I turned them on both of us were very impressed with the color and amount of light these things put out. They look awesome. I'm pretty sure Mike wants a set of these now.
Mike I'll take the blue bulbs off your hands and put them in the SRT Jeep if you want to get a set of these instead.
I'll get some pictures up of these compared to the stock bulbs and the blue bulbs.
thanks again Greg

Yea, I think Im in for a set now too. For some reason I wasnt all that impressed when i saw the pics on this forum. But in person they look very good and seem to light up the street real well. I'll be interested to see how thye perform while driving. I definatley need more light when driving at night. After lowering car, lights dont seem to work as well. So hope these HID fogs will help.

I put a set in my Corvette, and they look great. I'm not sure if they have a specific set for the Viper or not (there was a Corvette specific package you could buy), but Hoen made the set I bought. Might want to check their website. I think it was only $65 for the set of 2 foglights, and 2 high beam bulbs.

took a few pics but I had the camera in low res mode
here is stock vs the HIDs
here is the blue bulbs vs the HIDs
from inside the car, you can see the HID fogs do put out more light but with the Viper lowered the head lights really do need to be adjusted up to see far away.

Great pics.
, I told Mike you were going to give him hell, His HIDs should be here on Weds, and will be in the mail shortly after.ROCKET62

Excellent pics, thanks. I do have to say that the blue bulbs do look pretty decent and match the headlights pretty well. While they dont throw off the light of your HID's - they probably dont blind the oncoming traffic as I was blinded just looking at those fogs.
So who here can say that they actually have driven their Viper in the Fog?

Awesome pics in the fog! Nice job.
We don't get much fog in AZ, but I hate the yellow fogs as well - too much of a contrast from the gorgeous HID low beams - so I don't use them. HID set now on order though!

Ok we just installed my HID fog lights tonight, theyre KLIGHT 10000K hid. Same that I put in my 08 hummer and my porsche. I love them. In the viper they put out more light than the headlights, and double the light output when combined with the headlights. The only problem I have is when I turn them on after the car is running sometimes it trips the "BRAKE" light (this is the ebrake I belive) and the ABS light, if I have them turned on already then start the car the light doesnt come on. Also while I was driving I tried a few times and it didnt come on, then it did one time. I think my mechanic who put them in zip tied them to one of the brake sensor wires or something, we'll look at it next time.
Heres pics:
Headlights without the HID fog lights:
Headlights with HID fog lights On. There is way more light, hard to tell in the pic, look at the garage you can see the difference alot there:

OK - for the poser that I am - can you tell me which blue bulb you used? I'm not convinced I need the full HID upgrade, and feel the blue bulbs look a lot better than the white fog lights.

I used the KLIGHT brand HID upgrade kit, theyre plug and play, from ebay. 10,000K color which is a bit bluer than the factory headlights, and they are brigher than the factory headlights which is essentially doubling your light output. For around $100 you cant go wrong, its a big upgrade.

I agree, I would buy them from "85 of 200" for anybody looking to buy the HID lights as he knows the viper inside and out and can help you, I dont sell them. No I havnt been able to drive my viper due to bad weather, I told my guy who did installed them, he said its probably when the ballasts turn on they giggle the abs sensor. He said next time I get the viper to my shop he will adjust where he mounted it. I will keep you updated.

Strange...
I just went to install my HID fogs, and the panel inside each wheel well that gives access to the fog lights is missing - on both sides! The inside of each of these compartments seems unusually clean, so I don't think they have been missing long. Not sure where they went though!
On the passenger side, I used the 3M tape to attach the ballast to the top of the brake cooling duct.
Off to Dodge for replacement panels next.
The HIDs look awesome!!

Oh by the way, my mechanic guy did switch the drivers side ballast was mounted to something he said when the ballast turns on it vibrates a little and sets off the ABS sensor, he just moved where it was mounted to and it doesnt set off the sensor anymore.
