UPDATED WITH PIAA PLASMA IONS HID VVME 3K H11's installed *Pics and Vid*

So basically I finally got these installed and I like them.. more in the description of the video.. these are couple with 6K LED 194's which will soon (Thursday) be PIAA Plasma's IONS. I also ordered Optilux H9 Hi-Beams in Yellow maybe 2500K.. I need to check again but either way I ll post those when they come in. Try to watch this video in HD if you can to improve the quality.. I shot with a iPhone 4S

O Yeah Stock Headlights and the Foglight Re-wiring done, I did a video since I had a hard time find out how these looked besides perusing through pics

How is the output with the headlights? How much further can you see with the fogs added? Does it just improve spread, or overall distance as well?

The output with the light is pretty bright, if for whatever reason your headlights went out then you would be able to navigate with these but totally not for the long haul. Of course I can see a couple of more things on the side of the right now in the dark. So I guess it does improve spread alittle. I do probably need to adjust them because when I have them on I see them coming through the bottom of my headlight but overall I'm happy

Can you test them out on a pitch black road and let me know the difference between just the projector HID's from the headlight, then how the output changes when you have both of them on? I'm looking for a solution for me when I drive canyon roads at night because I feel I can't see as far as I'd like to. I'm debating either HID's in the fog lights since it's cheap, otherwise I'm probably going to be looking into swapping the fogs for actual driving lights. LMK. Thanks.

I actually drove it last night on the back road at night and they are pretty bright, and you can drive with them even tho you wouldn't want to. Here goes a pic of maybe how far they shine.. and this is when I only had 1 bulb working.

Yeah I would plan to wire them so I would only have them on when I'm driving on backroads.

Here goes an update with my HTC EVO Phone using no flash.. this might give a better picture on the projection of the fog lights, so no flash, and no headlights or hi beams were on, apparently all the street lights werent either

yes, you have to break off the reflectors, and then try to maneuver them through the small opening, which means bending it into a smaller piece, all while using pliers and not scratching the inside of the fog light housing.

Actually I did not have to use Pliers or anything, or break any reflectors. Its Plug n Play. The only thing I had to do was tie down the HID modules and then I took out the old non HID Bulbs and Put the HID ones in.
