I know alot of you are using these bulbs. I just needed to know if I go with the plus bulbs do I have to get the heavy duty harness also? Thanks
 
Ask Ken "Gray Ghost" at LS Koncepts. He's the resident expert on HOEN bulbs. I bought mine from him. He'll sell you exactly what you need and he knows everything about them.

It is recommended but not required. The higher wattage Plus bulbs may be a bit too much for the stock connector. However, I had the Plus bulbs in mine before I switched to HID and didn't have any problems but it's better to be safe than sorry later.
 
Thanks Ken your right I'm sure that could get pricey. Are you still using hoen for the fogs? How involved are the harnesses to install?
 
I have the Hoen All Weather bulbs in the fogs. They do not require the connectors. The only Hoen bulbs that are recommended for the heavy duty connectors are the Xenonmatch Plus bulbs. The Xenonmatch bulbs operate at OEM wattages.

The connectors have red and black wires that you splice into the existing wiring harness.

I got these bulbs and its been a plug and play system. No problems at all and no need to modify.
 
So Mike your saying all you did was put the bulbs in but haven't upgraded the wiring either? love your rims by the way.
 
help before I order

I want to get the Hoen Xenonmatch Plus Bulbs for my fog lights. Which do I need the 9005 or the 9006? Also, do I need to upgrade the fog light harness? As soon as someone replies I can get these things ordered. Thanks

If you want to put the Xenonmatch Plus bulbs in your fogs you would have to get the 9005. Now, there will be quite a bit of glare with that bulb since it doesn't have a painted tip like the 9145/H10 bulb. The heavy duty connector is recommended by the manufacturer (Hoen) for the higher wattage Xenonmatch Plus bulbs.

Don't the 9006's have a painted tip? Will they work for the fog?

Yes, but the 9006 bulbs have a different socket mount than the 9005.
 
Now I'm really confused. The 9005 and 9006 will work in the fogs? Grayghost did you get a chance to read my reply to you?

My answer was that the 9006 has a painted tip and no they will NOT fit in the fog lights.

Some have the heavy duty connectors and others don't. I ran the Plus bulbs in my highs and still do. Never have a problem but I don't use my High beams that much if any at all. Others have attested that they have the Plus bulbs and do not have the heavy duty connectors. It looks like they haven't had any problems.

I'm waiting on 20 sets of 9005 Xenonmatch Plus bulbs. Hopefully they'll be in today or tomorrow so that I can get them out to you.
 
Ah, I can see clearly now. Thanks I'll either be calling you to order or will just pick them up off of your site. Thanks again
