Default People with HID fog lights come in..

So its christmas time.. the time to blow all my cash on extra presents for myself

i was thinking about getting HID fog lights, BUT i just thought of something........

when i hit my remote to lock my car, the fog lights/blinkers blink twice when i hit the lock/unlock button. (aftermarket alarm)

now the question is --- isn't it bad for HID's to be turned on and off real fast??

i really dont feel like re-wiring anything but will if i have to if its worth it

that is option a ^^

option b is get lifetime warranty and just install and when they blow, just keep sending them back

Then don't hit the button twice, it does nothing different then let you know if your doors are closed all the way.

I had the same thought when I got my HID fog light kit. I just try not hit the lock twice but still do it every once and a while. I don't think it's really going to hurt anything.

Just turn the fogs lights off before you leave the car and they wont light up when you hit the botton.

Hmm not sure if its bad for them. Interesting tho... Looks sick when you lock your car lol might have to do it anyways. Also, these companies that have lifetime warranties, whats to say they dont go out of business soon? then were screwed. How would we get replacement bulbs?
