Default Fogs

Also I put a set of HID's in my headlights and now I did the parking lights, but I am looking for good fogs. What type do you have and where did u get them from???? I need the fogs done though I refuse to use them untill i install different ones.

Hi Guys,

I used www.ultraLEDS.com for the bulbs, although all is working well, I'm getting a Bulb Out status on my dash!! Placed a call into ultraleds for some advise.

The fogs, I got them from ebay, they are the PIAA 7500K bulbs, $80, but well worth it, superb quality...

Did you get a bulb out on your dash?

Default LOL

LOL I was about to post that same thing. I am getting the same thing on my dash. But previous to that after installing my HIDs when I would put on ONLY my parking lights, the lights out would come up on my dash but then when i put the headlights on it would go away. BUT NOW the light is on all the time, defintly a pain in the a$$. Let me know whats the outcome. Or if anyone knows how to resolve it infom us please

There is a solution as I had the same problem on my BMW when I installed a pair of Angel Eyes.

Had to purchase a small electron resister pack, which was installed inline with the LED, due to the fact the LEDs use less current, the resister pack fooled the computer in thinking is was a normal 5w bulb... I'll have a quick look to find out where I purchased them from.

Yup, putting a resistor in parallel will disable the bulb-out warning system for that bulb. But with LED's, their life is so much longer you'll probably never have to worry about it.
