Need info for 2nd head light spot

[sirmaenum]

Hi guys,
I have the '07 base Matrix. As you all know, the fog light spots are empty (only with 2 black caps to cover it).

I would like to know

1.) Is it legal or possible to get another set of headlight into those spots?

2.) If #1.), then is there any particular model of headlight you would recommand? Lightbulb isn't really matter, cause I can change them later.

3.) How much?

4.) Also, where would you recommand the 2nd set of headlight to be hook up to? the fog light control? or somewhere else?

thanks for the info.

sincerely yours,

I don't get you. How do you figure a headlight can fit into that spot? It's like a really strange square peg into a round hole!

sorry, i don't mean exact headlight 'headlight'

what i mean is i want something strong as the headlight goes in there

i don't want the actual fog light......

you know........like 2 pairs total of the white light

or something like that

You could always use HID's as your foglights. That'll intensify your light output down there.

Here's an example of what they look like...

HID foglights on:

if you get on ebay and do a search for matrix/vibe fog lights, i just grabed a set from there for my base trix

How easy was the install? Did you get the kit thats made for the trix? I think they are PIAA 510s if im not mistaken.

i got oem fogs, waiting for them to come in. i had actually gotten a fog light kit for my birthday back in may, but there round and dont feel like cutting up anything to make them fit

Hey MistaMatrix, putting HID lights in your foglight spot...do they blind other drivers? Have the cops hasstled you at all about them? Just curious, because I had been thinking of doing to same thing.

I don't think you'd get hassled for HIDs in the foglights. Unless you're running red & blue bulbs, then yes. I run yellows. Not HIDs but bright enough for me.

If foglights are blinding others than they're angled way too high. I don't think you can angle them that high anyway. Foglights are meant to light low and wide.

The pics I posted above is not my car. I only have HID's in my headlights.
