^ I agree. Though, I personally prefer the yellow fogs with 6000K or 8000K in the lows slightly over the matching fogs and lows. It really is up to you.

Good luck and post pics when you get them installed!

How bout doing us all a favor and taking out your 8K HID's. Either do it right or don't do it at all?

Get 4300K w/ a relayed harness and bend your squirrel spotters, do a retro, or go back to your halogens!

Just saving you the sh!tstorm that will ensue!

And putting HIDs in fogs will blind drivers in front of you and on coming traffic. Don't be surprised if you get a ticket.

Some people even put HID in their reflector halogen-designed headlights. It's not surprising me at all if they put HID in their fog lights. If I were a cop, I would give so many tickets that I might have promotion soon! LoL

You are aware that the temperature of HID's dont "blind" people? Its the glare that does. Colour is solely up to the owners personal preference.

And a relay harness isn't required to have a HID set-up, it may be recommended but isn't required.

As for squirrel spotters it may cause a little bit more glare but I bet if had two camry's with hid's in front of you, one with the squirrel spotters covered and one without..you probably wouldnt even know which one has their squirrel spotters covered.

if a guy in front of me glare me, I'll turn on my high beam too. If he's behind me, I'll slow down and if he go up front I'll turn on my high beam. Yes, I'm a mean driver....well... sometimes when the mood strikes.

But I find mostly these are morons anyway so it doesn't bug them a bit. Like today I saw a woman driving at night without her headlight ON... flash at her for a whole mile and she still didn't turn on her headlight. She turned and I continued on my marry way.

Studies show that foreground lighting is not good for drivers for speed above 30 mph because distance vision will be suffered. However, people feel safer when there is extra light around them; but in fact, it is a false perception. That's why no HID should be in the fog lights whether they are projector or reflecting housing. I'm pretty sure people putting HID in fog lights in addition to their headlights only want to make their cars look good, not for actual performance. Even real fog lights only use halogen.

PS: ... and real fog lights are only used in fog (not even in rain). In OR, you will get a ticket for using fog lights when visibility is not seriously reduced.

it does help, and when driving in small and wooded road, give you more light closer so it help you stay on the road. We can always turn it off if needed.

and I don't install mine for looks. Performance first, looks second, NOS is probably 3rd or 4th.

I think the round fog light glares though. Mine is rectangle, it throw the light low and around the car.
