    Just added xenonsupply 4300K HID kit and some fogs from eBay not the best but still works let me know what you guys think! Also replaced the passenger headlight assembly because for some reason there was a burnt mark in the corner.

    How do you like the xenon depot Philips 4300k, why didn't you go with the 5000k? Was it hard to install?

    I think you just made a poor "upgrade" that will shine a lot of glare into people's eyes. The cheap eBay reflector foglights don't really have any effective cutoff to prevent glare, or stay light from shining high up. Installing HIDs into them makes the problem even worse. :(

    I went with that because the site said this was the most brightest in terms of length but i wish i did go 5k 4300k is kind of piss yellow lol.

    Funny you said that because I compared this to the factory fog lamps and there was no difference. I only use my fog lights when its dark and rainy. Unlike some people that think leaving their fog lights on at night gives better vision which is totally false.

    I may have been hasty in my reply earlier. Did you install HID in your lowbeams and regular halogens in your foglights? If that is the case, then I apologize.

    If you installed HIDs in your foglights, then my previous post stands.

    My hids are for low beams. I don't see a reason why anyone would put hids for fogs when the fogs will reflect the light back at you lol. My fog lights are halogens. No hard feelings lol

    I have 3K HIDs in fogs on 2 cars and they work great. Yellow doesn't reflect back and doesn't blind as much, plus fog lights generate very wide beam so the density of the light is still low.

    This had worked very well in dense fog in mountains. Anything less would have been useless. But then again some only install fogs for show, not for actual help

    Yes for fogs those led's are great. Why do our headlights have the halogen light and the small light above it? When you put in the hid's did it change both of those lights or just the halogens?

    when I changed my low beams to HID's I changed the top lights to LEDs. I am assuming these lights above are for looks?

    If I understand the question, those are the parking/ running lights.
