I had yellow 35w 3000k hid in my aspen and never had a problem with them till 3 years later one bulb went out. Now all I'm hearing is that all hid bulbs no matter how low of a k I is will melt. Apparently all the chargers, challengers, tahoes, and camaros all have the same problemwith the fog lights melting with hid light kits.

 

I went with an LED cnversion kit, super bright and no heat issues.

 

Can you post some pics and info of the bulb please ?

 

The melting problem is typically because HID bulbs are NOT meant to be installed in a halogen bulb housing (without a complete re-wire of the system). That being said, most places offer a lower output (35w) option to help avoid this problem. I had a set of 35w HID's in the fog lights of my RAM and never had any problems, but you can tell just standing near the bumper that they get very hot. A set of 55w HID's without converting to projector lights could be a roll of the dice.

 

I had ddm 35w 2500k in my housings. Started to melt after 5 months or so. They will melt eventually.

 

I had that same kit from DDM, only 5000K...never had any issues.

 

I used mine daily. It took a while, but it deff affected them.

You must have the secret experimental high temp housings.

 

Do yall all have the new gen rangos? is the melting a common issue? Id rather not install in a customers car if they will melt. Ive never had a problem with my HIDs in my fog lights, except for a bad seal wish starbursted the inside.

 

My Durango is a 2011, but does not have HID's in the fogs (yet). The HID kit I installed was on my 2012 Ram 1500.

 

Hid's melted my fog housings as well I'd advise against it!
