After installing the HID's in the headlights, the fog lights looked like crap! So ordered the HID light kit for the fogs, installed them today, and it seems like they are way too bright! It's like driving with hi-beams on....they light up the whole neighborhood....trees, houses, everything! I'm guessing its because theres no shield in front of the bulb like there is on the headlights. What did you guys do to fix the problem?
They are the same as the headlights.....50W/4300K

I got 35w 4300k in my Fogs and it's UBER Bright. I can't imagine it with 55w in there.

Me too. Mine are awesome and I dont get flashed. I dont know why you'd get flood lights unless you have a GMC because those housings are different and will give a different effect than Silverado's.

On edit, I think you do have a green Silverado if I remember right...55's may be too much for those housings.
 
Yea, the Cutoff on the Silverado Lights have a nice defined line. Almost like a Projector, but not as sharp.
 
Don't sell them, keep them.

Please tell me you re-adjusted the Lights after the HID Install.

95% of people that complain about their lights are doing it because they are not adjusted correctly.

Ahhh see!! Get out there and adjust them and I bet you'll like 'em! :thumbsup:
 
I do see that the silverado style housing is better defined as far as the cutoff line.
I have the GMC myself and although it works, they do seem to act as a flood light.
At least for me I installed the 3200k HID so they are yellow. Not quite as bad as the 5300k would be.
 
Theres no clear line at all. They are pretty much like flood lights. They are even adjusted all the way down
