Slooooooow, I'll try to take a picture tonight for you. I aim my projector fogs straight to the ground to avoid the glare issues that I commonly see here in SoCal (damn raised trucks grrrrrr 
). Pretty much, if you've seen the cutoff from my low beams, it slides right under there. Its about an inch or two below the cutoff of my low beams 
I agree with above though. Spend a couple hours adjusting the beams to make it safer for other drivers. There are plenty of halogen reflector retards on the road around here. If you have to drive in front of those bastards, you'd want to help the person in front of you

That's exactly what I'm wondering about...here's why.
One of my fog lamp bulbs finally burned out and I'm tempted by the 3k HIDs on LuxuryMods.com (and some 4.5ks for my low beam lights).
But we have repeated forum examples - and folks report real-time examples in their cities/areas - of people installing "plug'n'play" HID kits that completely BLIND oncoming traffic. How much worse are HID fog lights - especially when installed in non-HID housings?!
Somebody help us out here...

Those that install such systems tend to concentrate more on how it makes their car look and/or how much better they illuminate the road, instead of considering other drivers' ability to see.
Those of you that have installed the HID fogs...test your cutoff and photograph it for us? Nothing talks like sharp, defined, clean cutoff.Somebody help us out here...
For now with the 6000k in the fog looks like this (i need to clean the top)
The people that buy plug n play kits are retards. Generally speaking they will hack job putting them in and of course skip the ONLY important step being to have them properly adjusted!
I have an 01, i have a 6000k kit in my headlights, they are 'brighter' but they are properly aligned, the cut off is ideal and it does NOT glare even on slammed cars! And i do not have HID housings.
Same thing for the fogs. Projectors are ideal per se since they are more efficient in distributing the light and make a nicer and more concentrated light beam as well as cutoff.
So the same goes for the fog light housing, make sure they are properly aimed and there will be zero room for error and issues with other drivers, as well you will not fall into the retard category since you take the time to adjust them properly and be courteous to those on the roads beside you.
I do not have pictures, but i helped a friend install a 3000k kit into his Audi for the fogs [non projector housing] after a proper alignment the light output is great, no blinding & nothing. So go ahead with that!

Yes. Feel free to read my thread, in order to save yourself a headache. 
I see on Ebay, they have the H3 yellow bulbs at 55 watts and 100 watts. I think 100 watts would be overkill, yes? I don't want to blind other drivers. Isn't the standard wattage on an OEM fog light bulb 30 watts to begin with?

Thanks for the help. Can you make a recommendation as to where I can get a good set of low beams and fog lights? Also, a recommendation on the wattage of the fog lights.
