After researching on HID Planet for awhile, I bought these projector fogs made by Blazer and put a 894 4300K pnp in them. i'm very happy with the results so far.
here's an output pic of the blazers. got the kit for $117 shipped off ebay. pic was taken at about 25 feet away from my garage door. the beam spread for a good 5 feet past each side of the garage. that's a 2 car garage so it's about 22 feet wide. i was holding the projector in one hand and the camera in the other, so things are a little crooked the projector and shield are unmodified. this was completely plug and play and here's the result.
here's what they look like installed on the car:
now for some street shots. output shots are on a lighted street because i tookd these real quick before going to work. i'll try to get some shots against a wall or something. i just aimed the blazers by sight down the street, so they're probably not aimed perfect either. anyways, here you go:
Sylvania Cool Blue halogen low beams:
blazers only:
blazers and low beams:
here's some shots of the front of the car that show the color difference. i didn't have a tripod so they're a little blurry:

nice, isnt that a halogen projector? did u have to modify it to run hid?
halogen, yes. no modification needed. the stock bulb is an 894 halogen. the 800 series bulbs have a long focal point, so they're perfect for HID kits. i just bought an 894 HID kit and they plugged right in. any of the 800 series bulbs will work as they all have the same base.
wow looks sick..... im lookin for new fogs also..... where u get em from or u did like a retrofit?
here's an ebay auction for the exact projectors i have. be careful of others out there though. not all projector fogs will give good results. some don't have cutoffs or they run H3 bulbs. the results won't be the same.
very nice, i am going to be working on a set of those myself got any tips
no tips. buy the fogs. buy the pnp kit. mount them all up and plug them in. completely plug and play. no mods needed. i had to take my bumper off to mount the ballasts close enough for the wires to reach. but that was easy.
Dude, NIICE!! lol. HID isnt the best bet for bag weather (aka fog) from what i've heard. I'll be interested in how the perform in the fog, and rain at night.

Gotta get thoes TYC's done to match!
Good job bro.
well, in the 8 years i've lived in the carolinas, i've driven in fog maybe 10 times. with such low fog occurance, i couldn't justify putting yellow fogs on the car. i'll get much more use out of them as white driving lights than i would as yellow fogs. as far as performance in rain and fog, from what i've read, most of the HID's that perform poorly are the high K kits that kids buy off ebay like 8000k, 10000k, or 12000k. you can't see anything with those when it's clear and dry, so of course you won't be able to see anything in rain or fog. even when i do drive in fog, i still prefer my high beams. yeah, you've got a brighter glare right in your face, but you can still see further down the road with a high beam.
i was hoping these would help hold me over till i got my retro done. now that i've experienced the wonderful goodness of HID's, i'm even more anxious to get the retro done. all i have to do now is put a back on the housing. i've already got the mount plate and everything else mounted and sealed. i was going to use a 4" ABS coupling, but i think that will hit the support ridges that stick out horizontally behind each headlight. i need to figure this out. as soon as that's done, i'll be ready to mount them. the hard part is over (massive cutting and hacking to the housing and designing a new mounting system). i'm in the homestretch now. i'm still considering doing up a set of OEM housings with a bi-xenon too. i'll probably finish the TSX's and then start the bi-xenons. if i do that, i'll prolly sell the TYC/TSX combo.
I have 8000k HIDs in my headlights and nokya yellow bulbs in my fogs and it looks sick. ill post some pics later tonite when it starts getting dark. i personally love the look of nice bright yellow fogs. your setup looks really good.
Looks good, I'm thinking about getting me some now. How did you mount them? Also, can you post a daytime picture of how look they look mounted? Thanks...
the projector and shield are unmodified. this was completely plug and play and here's the result.
