Tek Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ok, so I have a 35W 6000K HID kit for my 9006 size headlights. I, however, would like to upgrade to 55W 8000K while switching my current HIDs to my fog lights. My problem: my fog lights are size 880. I was wondering; could I solder two harnesses like the ones linked below in order to make an adapter for my fog lights so I can just use the kit I have now? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ONE-CERAMIC-9006-HB4-CONNECTOR-FEMALE-WIRE-HIGH-WATT-/400141475608?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d2a4a5f18 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-H8-H9-H11-880-Male-connectors-connector-HID-Plug-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4aa66a6937QQitemZ320619571511QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Thanks!

Sam IIRC I tried just plugging the ballast into the 880 plug on my fogs and it fits but it can't clip together or anything. I was able to make it work though and they didn't come apart until I pulled them apart. Give it a try. Then you would just have to either modify your fog housings to fit your current bulbs or get some 880 6000k bulbs. Quote Too many projects, too little time...

I didn't do anything, the rubber on the outside of the plug made for a tight seal and it just kinda held itself together. If you really wantet to you could probably tape them together or something of the like. Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
