Did the IPF H4 conversion, really liking them so far, but I'd like the same kind of blueish tint to my fog lights. Any suggestions? Don't really want to change out the bezels or anything, just bulbs would be fantastic. Thanks!

How was the install on the headlights? Did you have to trim the connector to get a good fit as I have read in the past. My kit is in the mail. Also interested in the fog bulbs too. Thanks

No my harness went together just fine with the factory wires. All in all a very easy mod. Just need to pop the grill off to aim them better, don't have a torx driver that small.

I had to trim the connector but it is simple and straight forward once you have in hand. Great low cost mod and improvement over stock. I'm also interested in losing the dim yellow driving lights as they dont match the IPF's.

Cheapest option would be to go with the Silverstar fog bulbs, which give a much whiter light than the factory bulbs

Another tip on these lights, after you connect the harnesses together, wrap the tightly with electrical tape. It seals it from moisture, and helps keep the connections tight. Make sure to use plenty of dielectric grease before connecting

Thanks so much. I was planning on the tape trick I bought T15 driver yesterday in prep.

Do you have any picks? I'm also waiting on led dome lights, ordered last night.

x2 on the grease but I skip the tape as it tends to trap instead of displace moisture.
