The fans will be fine. The fog lights are covered by the bumper's undercover. They are not directly accessible from under the car so water and snow can't get up there easily. Refer to my write up here: http://www.kizashiclub.com/forum/viewto ... =32&t=2329krell wrote:Those fans are what ever they are has me worried with the fogs they gonna be close to the road surface nothing to protect them from rain or snow.
Also, where did you see the mixed reviews? For the entire line up of the CXA 5K fog light kits, there were only 3 reviews that I saw. One guy was complaining about the bulb not fitting his fog lights because of the glare shield in his Mazda but the Kizashi does not have one. The other guy complained that the output was not great but he was using a projector lens. We have the more LED-friendly multi-reflector lens for fog lights. These reviews are heavily based on individual application. I'd be more concerned about component failure and warranty service issues.
Remember, it apparently works like this:
LEDs in multi-reflector housing = good.
LEDs in projector housing = bad.
HIDs in multi-reflector housing = bad.
HIDs in projector housing = good.
The exceptions to these are factory components that were designed specifically for the application and not mere drop-ins like these LED and HID kits.
