Bumper to Fog Light Convertion

[valent|n0]

Hi Guys your DIY thread about bumper light to fog convertion gives me the idea

but instead having some wiring tricks I just add an
Pigtail H3 Halogen bulb

Has anyone done this? I wonder if its gonna melt the housing if I let in run too long??

so far the result
I like it!!!! soo brightttt


but I need input from the expert

[valent|n0]

damn I should've asked first

oh well we'll see how long it last


thx man

[accordztech]

i think its still cool though to do

i wanted to do it...lol

[valent|n0]

[accordztech]

I've used it for driving 2 days now
not a single burn mark YAY!!

the shines is like a 2001 toyota avalon Deer lamp (thats what they called it when I was in jersey) to see deers , it shines to the sides.

I am gonna make it my day light running light now to see if its going to melt or not

Heh... run it for about 45 mins striaght =).. well see what happens then.. btw plastic doesnt generally show burn marks.. depends on the situation. most likely just melt

haha I turn it on for like 2 hours straight
some part of reflector inside is burnt haha

and I notice a melting on the housing too

I wonder what other bulb that is less hot out there?
and easy to mount and wire

H3 55 watt is obviously too hot for the bumper light
