We placed a wire (with eyelet terminals) from the corner of each cover (you'll see that the cover has 4 screws) to a good chassis ground. (For the headlights, it was a screw under the fender well. For the fogs, we used a self-tapping screw and went directly into the frame right behind where the fogs sit.

What was thought to be "plug and play" turned out to be a bit more....

The install I was referring to here was on my son's 93 VR4.
Considerably more work on a 1g....

I just found out that I can put 9005 bulbs in my Jeep's fog light housings. Score. Gonna pick up some 6000K's off ebay.

Well I got them in, I got these:

eBay Motors: HID KIT XENON SYSTEM H1 H4 H7 9006 H11 H3 9007 8000K + (item 350112597023 end time Oct-22-08 08:51:53 PDT)

They were easy to install. They do put out lots of light, and are a vast improvement over my stock fogs in my Jeep.

However, one of them is lazy and sometimes doesn't turn on first try, and their temp isn't consistent ... they are 6000K but they vary, and sometimes one looks more white or blue than the other.



But, not bad for $60 right?

Ryan,

Did you ground the cases? If not, try it and see if it doesn't clear up the slow start and inconsistent temp issues...

Bob.

No Bob I did not. Just zip tied them to the bottom of the fogs - there isn't much room / anywhere to ground them behind the bumper cover. I'll go back under and see what I can do when I get a chance - good call. Thanks!

Here are some more pics.



First comparison vs. the stock fog:







Then, a view of them both - the d/s one was still being stupid but has since evened out:







And, the adjusted light against a wall:
