HID foglights... Who has them??

I'm looking for a HID foglight kit to replace the existing foglights. I want them to match the xenon headlights ...bright, but not overly bright to avoid glare to oncoming traffic. Which one do you guys recommend, and where to get it asap? Days are shorter and it's dark out!

I saw Jan's post but I was wondering if prices/vendors have changed since these guys did the mod...
