I am thinking of getting HIDs but want to know if it’s even possible to get them down in the fog lamp area also. Would it be 2 bright? Has anyone tried it yet? Sorry if this has been discussed. Search function did not help me. :o

Sure, but no one would really do t hat. Yellow light is better for fog.
By putting HID in the fog light, you are not lighting up the road that much compared to putting a pair in the headlights.

Yea thats a pointless idea. You dont want a bright fog light, or it wont cut threw the fog, it would just make the fog worse, actually.

Yeah I thought it would be to bright for Fog and will not realy do a good job of cutting through. I only been through thick fog a couple times in years. Yellow light gives more visibility in Fog. Just curious of how many people actualy went and done it. If it looks real sharp I might go for it.
