[Shotimes] PIAA HID

[Donald Mallinson]

Paul,

I am not sure of the part number, but they fit the '89 
opening perfect(sit just inside the opening, with the 
slightly bigger lens against the back of the opening.  Looks 
perfect.  There are two square lights with a yellow fog and 
white driving bulb.

Doug Mellum wired it with his kit to run the aux lights with 
the main lights in park mode.  The PIAA trigger wire is just 
run into the end of a wire at the old stock light location. 
  so when I turn on my stock aux light switch, it powers the 
relay for the PIAA lights that are wired to the battery. 
Then the PIAA dual switch was mounted right next to the 
stock switch.  Now I have the pilot light from the stock 
switch, and the PIAA switch lets me toggle between fog OR 
driving.  With this kit, there was no option to turn on 
both.  Really I don't see a need to turn on both.

I have driven in really BAD fog with only the PIAA fogs on 
and could see better than with either the stock low beams or 
low beams with fogs.  The driving lights can make even SEMI 
drivers beg for mercy.
