Default My struggles with HID kits for my Fogs

Ever since I wanted to change my foglight bulbs, it has been nothing but problems and spent money.

1.Bought normal H10 bulbs in 3000k- They weren't even yellow

2.Bought another pair of H10 bulbs from Halo Lighting- looked yellow but had the black reflectors fall off(Dealer replaced for free)

3.3000k HID kit. Looked yellow but ended up having my Driver side fog light fog up inside

4. Ordered a new housing and just ended up having the same problem

and today....

5. Passenger side bulb exploded and have all the remains at the bottom of the fog light(Ruined)

Can anyone help me out???? or has anyone else had any other problems?

where did you order them from? eBay is notorious for selling crappy lights.

i put silverstars in mine like 2 years again, never had a problem. But the black reflector problem is common, so i am not surprised at that at all. Just got to expect that it might happen when you change the lights

I have been using the stangmod 6000K for my fogs for about a year and I have had no issues.
