hid fog kit question

has anyone installed vleds slim ballast h1 fogs? i've seen the diy for the hp auto kit and know that it requires some cutting and splicing. the vleds kit states that it is a plug and play with no splicing required. they are on sale right now and i'm looking to buy one, but not if i have to cut the factory wiring.

From Andy from HP told me there is no splicing required. Just drill a hole in the back of the light where the fog light goes. He said they are all just plug and play. Call and ask him.

I've done the HPA fog lights kit and there is ZERO drilling req'd and ZERO splicing req'd. It is very honestly one of the easiest mods I've done.

At first I was really apprehensive about it and worried I'd mess something up but once I got into it I found out how easy it is. Plus the fact that they look incredible is a plus

thanks guys. if that's the case, this sale is too good to pass up...free shipping, $50 off regular price, and the 20% web discount brings this thing down to $85.

eBay lights are shady business, you're taking a big risk. They might work they might not

I just bought a 09' G-coupe and want to swap those yellow fogs in the headlight assembly. What is 'HPA fog light kit'? Do they match the main headlights? Where do you buy them? And, are there pictures of what they look like?

Thanks!

HPA is High Performance Autoworks...Andy Hu is the owner (user name "Hpauto" on here) and he is super helpful and knowledgeable!

take a look at the pics in my garage, I have the 8000K fogs and they are a little more blue than the headlights (i've got 6000K headlights). If you want the best match/color get 6000K headlights and 6000K fogs from HP Auto (check out their website, PM Andy, etc)

PM me if you have any questions about it and i'll help out as much as i can

i thought you said there was no cutting or splicing with the hpa kit.

yeah I've seen people that say you need to drill but I did it and didn't drill at all and have had no adverse effects whatsoever. Some of the other DIY's have an older model of the fog ballast and the new ones that HPA use are a bit simpler.

Question

Speedracer, did you end up getting this kit? I just got it in the mail and am having a bit of a hard time installing it.

If you installed it I'd appreciate a few pointers. Thanks
