I want a set of Sonars for my box but i am afraid of fogging...so i want to get of poll of people with the Sonars and let me know if they are worth getting...

how much better is the light intensity in the sonars than the stock headlights with 8000k HIDS

i've also noticed that there is an overlay that has become crazed as well i am thinking it's a lexan overlay over the acrylic lens that has crazed due to uv and heat(i live in florida) i bought a mother polishing ball and that seemed to clear up most of it. i'll need to remove them to get the rest

fogging is a comen thing for the sonars so i hear

dugzilla

I had fogging issues, but nothing a little silicone didn't fix. I don't know how much rain you get out there, but driving at night in the rain with 8000k bulbs you aren't going to be able to see much. I swapped my 6000k's for the 4300k for that reason, it makes a huge diff.

EZ-BAKED

Why not gust run the 3000 in the fog lights. Thats what I did and wow love it.

dugzilla

EZ, with the rain the visibility is not good with that color temp. I have hids in the fogs too. I might try the 3000k.

i have the 3000k in my fogs and love them...i will be on a dark road and turn the fogs off and be like DANG they really make a big difference...they really do :-)

dugzilla

I just ordered the 3000k bulbs from mobilehid, can't wait to get them.

3000K = FOG KILLER

my passenger housing didnt just fog, it leaked water in needless to to say i resealed it and its okay

BurxBox

My sonars fogged. So I took mine apart(pretty easy) and painted the inside housing torched penny to match and resealed. Haven't fogged since

when i had my sonars they only fogged one time. i didnt do anything to them when they did. after they cleared up they never fogged up again.

BurxBox

I also used a trick we use up here to keep your goggles from fogging when your snowboarding. you take one drop per lens of dish soap on the inside and whipe all around until its clear again. You won't have anymore fogging

I don't know why it just works

ive noticed mine fog up too. But i didnt know it was common with these.

i heard somewhere if you dont put the rubber thing on the back they wont fog up...like they are open to breath and everything...i mean i really really want sonars but i cant have my headlights fog up...

how is the light intensity compared to stock with HID's with the projector lens...is it a really really really big difference or is it so/so

dugzilla

The difference between stock and the sonars is like night and day. The cut off is perfect, no scatter glare. Once you get them sealed up you will be thrilled.

so when they come in just go ahead and pull the lens out and re-silicone it and i should not have any fogging issues at all...they are a 9006 bulb right and not a h4, guess i should order some new bulbs first

so maybe a stupid question but do you absolutely have to pull the bumper to install the headlights???

and if so am i going to have any problems getting the body lines to line back up, i have perfect bodylines and i dont want to lose them

Skuff_Box

You don't have to pull the bumper completely off but you do have to unscrew it until it is about 3 inches lower. There are only like 4 bolts and one clip that hold it to the car so it only takes a couple of minutes. Then lining it back up is a snap. Look in the tech section for how to remove bumper.
