Nice, but not so functional as fogs... White will reflect back you a lot in bad weather. Then again, you're in Cali, so unless you're in SF, you have no need for fogs. For decorative lights, they nook nice. What's the colour temp? 6K?

I have 6000k in the headlights, and 6000k in my fogs. My fogs are French Yellow lenses though and they look great, even in bad weather conditions. Before I did the French yellows there wasn't really much of an advantage to the HIDs in the fogs in the stock lenses, other than they looked cool from the outside.

tell me whats the difference when you turn them on @ night w/out the lows... Did the fog beam look better with the h1 bulb or the hid's? Im contemplating on this upgrade b/cause if the lows were to go out (running hid's)the fogs would b my backup and definitely work(running h1)... was it hard to cut the metal for the bulb to fit the fog light? thanks for the info...

Damn, you went all out with the HID's! I had them in my low beam and fogs as well, very happy. I figured since I don't ever even have the need for high beams anymore no point in wasting the money swapping them out as well.
