Pilot Glass Fog Lights 55W Halogen - $14.99 at AutoZone, looks good on a zenki

[zomgdrft]

Pilot PL-1078CK halogen fog lights. Look pretty good imo. $14.99 for glass fog lights? Can't beat it. Just thought I'd let folks know if you have a zenki s14 and are looking for non OEM fog lights.

i used to be a jars of clay fan, but probably not for the reason you may have

[jackjack]

hmmm not bad.... not bad at all

[LA_phantom_240]

For those of you out there who are after more than just looks, not saying that the OP is one of those people, should try to mount them as high up off the ground as possible. This way, you can get the widest beam possible with the most even spread and least hotspots.

Fuck, that may be the most mature thing ever said on Zilvia. no sarcasm.

back to the lights
If anything, i'd try to snug them up against the bumper uprights a little more, like the oem setup.
not bad for $15

[ixfxi]

again, let the broke fuckers in the 240sx collaborate.


15 dollar foglights


FIF TEEN dollar, fog lites.


chrissake. as if companies like hella and cibie dont exist, spend money on shit that has no useable beam pattern and just wastes energy.

do yourselves a favor people, build a relay harness - buy some REAL foglamps, if you drive in fog. if you need better HEADLAMPS, BUY BETTER HEADLAMPS. Foglamps, are in NO WAY, a substitute for better headlamps.

ps: my intuition tells me that those arent even foglamps, they're probably DRIVING lamps. but hey, i could be wrong. (nah, no way im wrong).

[ixfxi]

Can I run these as regular headlights, Like sleepy eye style.

yes, you can also shove them up your ass just incase you need better lighting when you take a dump.


NO, dummy. foglamps are not headlamps, and driving lamps are not headlamps.

if you want a headlamp, buy a headlamp.

[!Zar!]

Poor people are poor.

[S14DB]

I bought a pair of Pilots once... They rusted on the shelf...

[WERDdabuilder]

Can I run these as regular headlights, Like sleepy eye style.

why on earth would you want to run fog lights as headlights?

[ixfxi]

Poor people are poor.

because they're always spending the little money they have on CHEAP SHIT

spend once, buy less


reminds me of the story of my uncle, who always buys cheap cordless phones. no one wants to call him because his phones always suck ass, have static and are broken. he ends up buying NEW $19.99 cordless phones once a year, has 10 of them, and none of them shits ever work


fucking garbage

[zomgdrft]

Wow it's that no good douche ixfxi. Why am I not surprised. How about you stop fucking e-stalking my threads. Don't post your useless uneducated drivel here, please. The fog lights work fine. I have a brighter beam at night, and it only cost me $15.

The idea isn't about always buying top of the line. Sure I could've bought some hella lights for a lot more, but I would be just as satisfied as I am now, having only spent $15. It's about getting the best bang for your buck. The sooner you start to realize not all low priced items are junk, the better off you're going to be. Companies like Pilot aren't still in business after many years because they make 100% crap. Think about it.

[CKAMC]

STFU Newbies

Mike aka IXFXI knows his shit

you talk him down is like talking down chip foose about classic car modification

you will just lose

anyways, spend more and get more, dont go all chaop and try and make something that does not belong your primary....

honda owners think its cool'

zilvia members know better :p

[zomgdrft]

I can talk to whomever I want, however I want.

I will win the internets.

You don't always get more if you spend more.

What the hell is chaop? And how is this "my primary." What does that even mean?

What does any of this have to do with owning a honda.

Zilvia is ok, to many children however, imo.

Making posts like this is cool.

You should all try it.

American Products Company To Pay $650,000 Civil Penalty For Sale of Lamps Not Meeting Safety Standards

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced today that American Products Company (APC) has agreed to pay a $650,000 civil penalty as a result of its manufacture, certification, and sale of replacement lamps that did not comply with federal safety standards.

Over the past several years, APC sold various models of noncomplying replacement tail lamps, commonly sold as “clear” tail lamps or “Eurotail” lamps. Some of the non-complying models replaced red lamps and reflectors with clear ones. Others were missing side marker lamps or reflectors.

APC also sold other noncompliant replacement lighting equipment, including clear corner and bumper lenses and high-intensity discharge (HID) conversion kits. The nonconforming equipment was sold by a variety of retailers. The lamps and lenses have been the subject of four recalls covering thousands of parts.

The parts and model numbers associated with these safety recalls are listed on NHTSA’s web site, http://www.nhtsa.gov/ under the recall numbers 99E-039, 00E-078, 01E-035 and 03E-014. Part and model numbers are located either on the lamps or on the packaging in which the lamps were sold. Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign should call NHTSA’s toll-free Auto Safety Hotline, (888) 327-4236.

for those that arent too keen on what im saying here, is that HID components USED to cost 250-500 for the bulbs, ballasts, and relay harness.. BACK IN THE DAY. Nowadays, parts have been so copied and are such shitty quality, plus.. that these companies have managed to bump costs down THAT much. they're pretty much trying to offload them at whatever cost they can, obviously. Not to mention, you CANT defect a product when the company changes every 5 minutes, and you dont want to ship stuff back and fourth when its not even worth the freight/customs. Imagine, if they're trying to offload HID kits at $43 dollars/set, imagine what it actually costs to MANUFACTURER!

then, imagine what R&D, engineering or safety measures actually went into the design. lets just say, i have a bargain bin here filled with PULLED components from customers cars that were equipped with junk before coming through the shop. You'de be amazed at how bad BAD can be, its fucking horrible.

now take that $15 dollar foglamp kit, imagine what the cost is - imagine what the profit is. if vendors are selling HID kits online TODAY for $100-150, and they cost 40. Well, I wouldnt be surprised if those $15 dollar flashlights cost $2 dollars to purchase.

honestly, do you REALLY think you're gaining anything?

[Pank]

I still dont understand why people arent getting fk lenses and swapping HID projectors into their car. its not that expensive.

(ok yes it is)

[axiomatik]

haha, $43 dollars a set. I bet their quality is killer.

[S14DB]

So China is not prospering right now?

[johngriff]

Thats a pretty good resale/margin.

OP, you fail, I would rather spend that $15 bucks on coffee, cigs, and a SUPER STREET than those fogs.

[zomgdrft]

Well, the "cool people" are completely devoid of all logic it seems. Let me make this as crystal clear as possible.

1. I was not specifically looking for fog lights for my car.

2. I found a decent set of glass Pilot fog lights on sale ($15) while I was at AutoZone getting some parts for a friends car.

3. They looked like they would match well with the body styling of my zenki S14, so I figured why not, it's only $15.

4. I installed them and they look great, in my opinion. If you don't think they look good, that's fine, but it gives you no right to flame my car. Keep your negative opinions to yourself, and act like an adult. Apparently this is extremely hard for some of you.

5. Had I been looking for a killer set of fog lights, yes I could've spent a good amount of money and bought some nicer ones. But I figure, if I can get a year or two out of these ones, why not? They were cheap as hell and look good.

6. I just wanted to share with zilvians that here is a good deal at AutoZone on some quasi-decent fog lights that look good on a zenki s14.



People should at least be temp-banned for shitting on others' threads here. I've been a part of many online communities where this crap wouldn't be tolerated.

its a public forum, stop bitching. Dont post if youre going to complain about other ppls opinions. Now act like an adult and take the good with the bad and stop complaining bc you're all butthurt everyone isnt on your nuts for your SUPER SHOPPER fog light purchase.

some ppl are going to approve and other arent, you gotta roll with the punches

Is there any quality fog/driving lights out there like these? I'd love to get some of your DRL's but I'd be worried someone would take them. PM me if you want..thanks

This is just an idiotic justification for acting like a juvenile. I can understand if someone doesn't like it. But how hard is it to be mature about it? Just say, "I don't like it," or give an example as to why you don't like it, and move on. How hard is that? It's called common courtesy.

again, let the broke fuckers in the 240sx collaborate.
yes, you can also shove them up your ass just incase you need better lighting when you take a dump.
These are not real opinions, they are outright flames, and should be treated as such. This guy is an obvious troll, if you can't see it you're apparently blind.
