looks good man, just wondering if you've had any issues with melting the fogs... i did the headlights with 8000k but left the fogs with regular bulbs... i couldent seem to find a good place to mount the balasts and i heard the fogs melt

Lots of people on here run 35w in their fogs with no issues. I don't think they get hot enough to melt the housings like the 55w'ers do.

I've had 35 watt'er in my Lincoln for a year with no melting, and I just put them in the Denali. I don't forsee any melting problems. I have to get some longer zip ties to secure the ballast for the fogs. I used the double sided tape but I don't trust it to hold long. Thanks for all the compliments.

Looks good man. I plan on doing the same thing with the low beams someday. Can you give me an idea of how the install went? Is it pretty much plug & play? How good are the 4500's at night?

The install was easy just plug & play. One minor thing is you have to plug the ballast in upside down, apparently the wires are backwards? Other than that no hitches. The 4500K illuminate pretty good at night in the dark part of town. I havent been out country driving since I put them in.

Cool man, thanks for the info.

i had the same issue on my install, the plugs all had to be installed upsidedown... weird...

jomulk- where did you mount the ballasts for the fogs?

Well right now they're mounted to the frame rails. I'm going to move them to the metal the front suspension attaches too this weekend. I found some extra long zipties in a junk drawer at home.
