These are my stock Solara foglights with 3000K hid's in them. They don't have a good cutoff line, but I honestly don't see any glare I consider unreasonable. To be honest, they look like they have less glare (which I'm sure isn't the case...)

Inside the shop I work at. Middle of the day, with lots of surrounding light...

I have OEM Xenon headlights with oem bulbs for low beam, HIR bulbs for high beam, and need foglights for driving in the winter and foul weather.

It's my old 55w Apexcone ballast with some 3000K 35w bulbs (over-powered obviously). They are brighter than my oem 35w low beams, lol.

I'll get some night pics tonight.

Here are some night shots. I was going to retrofit my old headlights projectors into my fogs, but couldn't find a good way to do it.

I have the same set up, and in less than 2 months, they blew my fuses. I replaced them yesterday, but when I turned on my fogs today, my fuses blew again, within a few minutes. I put in new ballasts yesterday after replacing my fuses, thinking that may the root of the problem. Apparently, I was mistaken
