Conversion to Xenon

Can we change the regular bulbs fog lights (H11 55W) for Xenon H11 55W without any converter or whatever?

Thank you

Serge

No - Xenon lights require a ballast

That's them there.....

Yes, they are the ones you would use to get purple/blue headlights LIKE xenon.

Real Xenons would need the projector reflector, though there are kits on ebay for around $300 that replace the halogen with a HID capsule.

Xenon/HID gives WAY more actual light to drive by.

I don't want to be a party pooper, I just want you to get the full scoop on both sides of the fence before you make the purchase. Click here.
