I have they Nokya's on my other car and HID fogs on the sexi lexi. The Nokya's are yellower on the car because they're much lower wattage. The HID fogs are much yellower and brighter on the road though. For an example check out this pics of both of my cars together. Facing you is the Nokya's 2500's and facing away is sexi lexi's HID fogs. They both look good in their own way's though. Just depends on the look you're going for.

Thanks to all for the great response. I think I'm going to try the Nokya bulbs next because of the cheap price, and then maybe later down the road I may consider the 3000k HIDs.

Dappy, thanks for reminding me about Speedstar. Almost forgot there is a quality jdm shop in Toronto.

But for now, I'm going to stay away from yellow overlays because I want the lens to be clear during the day.

keep in mind that upgrading your fogs to HID is functional if you go with a 3000k kit. From a brightness standpoint HID will put out significantly more light output.

I have Nokya bulbs for my DRLs and it melted my socket, so I went and bought the high output harness....I recommend this for anyone that has a high output bulb in their car.
