Fog Light HID?

Looking to upgrade the fog lights to HIDs (on the IPL bumper) to 6K brightness. Does anyone have the ones from DiodeDynamics? Thoughts one them? Any other options out there?

I've got them, 6k DiodeDynamics hid conversion for fogs. Plug and play, no problems at all.

I have them as well. The only issue I find is I have had them for over a year now and the its probably do to with something else, but the ballasts are picky when they want to turn on. Sometimes I have one fog light sometimes two.

Thank you for the feedback. Looks like DiodeDynamics just increased their pricing on these from around $90 to $200. I wonder what changed?

Do you guys have it directly wired to the battery or can the kit be spliced of the fogs?

They've changed their pricing on every possible kit. I was looking at some for my Maxima and some for a few friends, they are all set at $200.

New improved, top-O-the line, high end HID...blah, blah, blah.... W.T.F.Ever!!

Can't fork over $200 for HID kit when there is so many other options. I see them dropping their price when sales dont start coming thru..

Looks like HIDExtra has the "Can-Bus" ballast as well and is for $119 and free shipping. Has anyone used/ordered from them before?

Haven't used them personally, but from what I understand, the g37 does not require a canbus system.
