HID'S are the best which is what i run, i just ordered a set of 3000k for my car. If you are dead set on halogens ive had good luck with NOKYA's they are pretty decent ive had several sets with no problems, in fact i just put some in my high beams tonight!! they run about $12-15 shipped on ebay.

I agree. I did a DDM Tuning HID 3k set up for yellow fogs. Its around $40 plus the relay if you want to get it. Looks really clean!

get yourself a HID kit with the correct bulb size and you'll be smiling with satisfaction!!! ITS SUPER easy to install. you only need the ballist and bulb. other stuff isnt needed

I have these and they look great.

I'd advise not doing HID fogs. They cause glare to other drivers, and it truly is a nuisance.

This has come up many times but general consensus is that they are aimed too low to blind other drivers, some may if aimed incorrectly but most wont.

i dunno what Fogs you are running, but the only thing i see blinding other drivers are people running 55W ballists on their low beams... or driving with their high beams on...

I was debating reg bulbs, hid's, or led's ended up ordering the luminics bulbs just the other day because the other 2, i thought was going to be obnoxiously annoying to other driver's. Hopefully it looks good.

Off topic, but do you guys know if luminics offer free shipping to Canada as well?

Thanks,
