HID fogs question.

i have some hook-ups on a set of hid kit . i was wondering if any brand hid kit will work? im sure mtec doesnt throw a code at us. have anyone installed any hid kit that throws a code so far? i think the brand that i can get for cheap is "coway" h11 hid kit.

anyone in nyc know how to hook up the resistors for led turn signal? will pay. lol

You can try to install a cheeper one, but who knows if you will ever get it to work.

Resistors can be dangerous because they do get Very hot, and that could cause some serious problems depending on where the resistor is located and if it moves by accident

I realize that--it just seems like a lot, that's all. I am not even sure how much this would help you in a situation where fog lights are needed. If it is just for looks--the MTEC should be more than enough for the average person, that's all I was saying.
