Help with Umnitza HID fog install
Anybody know a good way to seal the rear of the fog housing after installing the umnitza HID fogs? I am lost on this one and can't find a thing when I search. Any help would be great. Thanks guys
Josh

Bulbs are not too long, and if you need to seal because youre a nub and drilled, then use silicone....done

mine are not from umnitza be you get the idea

My issue was the grommet. You need to cut a circle in the back of the housing. If you cut the right size then there is no need for silicone. The regular bulbs are too long, that's why you should order the H3c bulbs. They are smaller and fit. If you order the regular H3 bulbs then you just bend down the light reflector in the housing. Just stick a screw driver in there and bend it down.

wish I knew to order the H3c's.....and so much for PnP, any way to avoid the drilling?

And what diameter did you use? Umnitza recommended 1" but 7/8 looks like it might be a better fit

There is no way to prevent drilling. Just stick with what they say.
