No, it's still Halogen. I think HID is brighter but I'm not sure how bright it is when put in the fog housing.

many of us have HID fogs and have no issues and mainly use it to compensate the loss of output from the 6000k+ low beam we change it to.

I will pretty much always install HID fog for all my future cars

Now we can get HID for around $30. So HID is a better way to go. I already got the Halogen ($60) so not going to mess with it.

3000k fog lights because yellow light is more effective if you actually plan to use them in cutting through fog. White light will just reflect back at you in dense fog.

I want 6k too, in my low beams
