Converted fog light to HID as if you use regular halogen, you will bake/boil the fog light housing due to heat. Or you can choose not to use the fogs
So are you saying that I can convert the low beam to HID but DO NOT do the fog lights or I'll risk baking the housing??

What wheels look best?????

I've finally found some wheels that I think I'll put on my 2001 Boxster. I'm upgrading to 19" but I'm a bit torn...here are some illustrations of what I'm debating. There are 2 slightly different ones that I'm debating...all thoughts are welcome.

The ones on the FRONT or REAR????

The Wife wanted some "Wings" for Christmas. After all she is my Angel. So I gave them to her. Together we installed Her "Wings" on Her cars on Christmas day. They turned out pretty nice.

I would convert both low and fog's to HID's.

HID low beam looks so much better IMO.

many people had halogen fog lights.....too much heat and boiled/baked the area under the bulb.
I'm not sure if HID has less heat but people that used the fogs with HID hasn't had the paint boil/bake issue.....then again my info is from the very inital sets that were sold.
These have been out for a few years now and the manufacturer may have corrected this already.

Either way, HID low's and fog's were awesome
