Tuan,

Do you have any demonstration video of the 9005x bulbs in action? I want to see if they really are as bright as the PIAA 1100x lamp kit.

Sorry, I don't have any demonstration video available. However, many forum members with these Xtreme White Plus bulbs can vouch for them. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...highlight=Piaa

If the stock 9005/9006 bulbs fit into those C5R SpecterWerkes housing, then these Piaa 9005/9006 Extrem White Plus bulbs will fit.

your supposed to aim them down after installing them.

Or maybe these lights are not made to please everyone....looks like stock fogs for you!

ive ordered this kit last year from tuan le. Fast shipping and no hassle. I have the vararam intake and its no problem installing the piaa fogs. Its a nice addition. I have the Z, So I had to order the new switch with the fog switch in it. Hardest part was trying to tap into the fog relay wire under the fuse box, not a whole lotta room. Other than that. its nice.

Here's some questions about the 1100X Fog Lights:

How do they compare dimensionally to the stock fog lights?? Reason I ask is because of the length of the stock fog lights, there's interference issues with the BOV's of the new turbo kit.

How are these wired in?? Do they plug in through the stock harness, or is there wiring involved?

Are they still operated via the switch on the dash???

Does the kit come with the bulbs already installed?

Thanks!

My car has stock fogs; will I need the accessory harness?
How well do they fit the stock openings?
Are they bright enough to drive with?
Thanks - David.

Default 1100x

I bought these lights about 6 months ago and one of the bulbs burnt out. Can you buy replacement bulbs or do you have to buy the whole set again???

Thanks
