I refuse to buy "blue" bulbs so I guess I'll either one day buy the HIDs or just leave my fogs off.

But I miss the look of my car with the fogs on. As it is, I only use them when coming on base at night (when I turn my HIDs off).

My best advice, get blue foglight blubs from an accessory shop or ricer shop and try them out. Honestly though, my HIDs made everything look like piss. I tried blubs that claimed to be 8K HID equivilent which was BS.

I wasted my money and the best advice I can give anyone is... you ain't going to match it that great and if you want it perfect, get the same HID rating for your fogs. Thats the only right way IMO. For the money I wasted on getting wannabe HID blubs I could of damn near bought the HID fogs in the first place. HID kits are cheap nowadays, you can get cheap deals on Ebay if you want to save money. Personally, I bought all my HID stuff from WBS.

Yeah, I missed my fogs too. Thats why I had to pretty much get another HID kit. It sucked at the time but you honestly can't beat the light output and the looks too in the end.

If I had to do it over again, I would of bought the HID 880 kit and the 9007 kit at the same time and I would of never dicked with trying out HID wannabe blubs. I would of saved over $100 I bet if I would of done this in the first place!
