Hey all,

I recently got HID's in my 97 Blazer and I love them. I want to install HID's in the fog lights. However, I'm worried this will put too high of a strain on the cars electrical system. I don't want to fry everything else because of it, fry my alternator or drain my battery. Has anyone had those kinds of issues when they put HID's (35w I believe) top and bottom? (I'm pretty sure the guy who installed them said he puts relays on all his installations, if that makes a difference).

Thanks!

 

I got quad beam and fogs for about 8 months now and know problem

 

You should be fine. I have the quad headlight mod, 100 watt projector fog lights on front buper, 2 KC daylighters converted to 55 watt HID on the front bumper, and 4 9in 35 watt HID spot lights on the roof. WIth all the lights on my vot gauge dosent go below 12.

 

I've been told that HID's use less power than a regular light bulb so you should have no problems.

 

yea HID's do use less power than halogen bulbs so you will actually relieve your electrical system a little bit. I'm hesitant to put HID's in my fogs because HID's get pretty hot I don't want to melt the housing

 

thanks for the responses guys. I was worried about the excessive heat too, but the housing seams pretty solid down there and if it melts..oh well
