9012 (HIR) bulb retrofit for fogs ?
I am not a big fan of LEDs in halogen/regular housings... SO, being old school, i was wondering how to spice up the fogs a little bit while staying halogen. I use them with parking lights a lot as my "DRL"s.
I came across this very affordable retrofit of 9012 HIR bulbs to fit in to 9006 (what ZHP fog use) housings.
HIR 9012 puts out almost double the amount of light at same wattage due to HIR tech. It's a popular mod apparently and can be done easily.
Some info regrading this mod:

I think I am going to do it, after I find a decent 9012 HIR-2 (HIR-2 is apparently even brighter than 1st gen HIR)
Thoughts? words of encouragements?

I originally went the route of upgrading the bulbs in the OE fog lights, definitely brighter but not a good useable light pattern. I was constantly getting flashed. [emoji849]
Flash forward to the Morimoto LED Fog Lights, no pun intended. Excellent light output with a nice cut-off line. No more getting flashed! Also these go perfect with my modded headlights, ZKW lenses, custom shields and 5000k bulbs!
Also the Morimoto Fog lights have a 10 year warranty.

This is what happens when you go with a brighter bulb in a reflector housing. Ya it’s brighter but not on the useable good side. [emoji51]
