Found this FWIW.

And I thought the whiter the worse they were...maybe not.
A halogen light and HID light put out completely different light and at very different intensities. So, putting an HID into a housing designed for a halogen, will not give you something "better", just different, and most likely way outside of the lenses intended output and diffusion.
Fog will reflect light, so a brighter, and whiter light with a diffusion pattern all over the place, will most likely make it harder to see. My 0.02.
Oh...and the folks around my area with those blueish crap HID like lights on the big pickups that blind everyone....I have some lugnuts and ball bearings with your name on them.
