Please DON'T. The fogs are not projectors. HID fogs produce horrendous glare to on-coming drivers. I have the misfortune to be blinded by a few M3 drivers who have their HID fogs on when there are NO fog. I felt like blinding them back with my HID highs, but thought better of it since I didn't want both of us being blinded and end up in a head-on collision.

Well, count me in the rare bunch that actually use my fog lights when there is actually fog. I only use the fog lights only when necessary, not to look 'cool'. It does help to have HIDs in place of the fog bulbs, more light when you need it. If they're properly built, focal point identical to the stock halogen bulb, they increase visibility.

It won't be me blinding you when there's no fog.

I just purchased the Piaa H11 Ion Crystal Yellow Bulb from ebay. I think it should look sharp, consider I like tradition yellow amber bulb on the fog light.
I will post pics once I get it and installed.
