I actually hate the yellow look. I know fog lights are supposed to be a different color but I cant remember a time that I've driven my EVO in fog. I swapped my stock bulbs for the bluish ebay ones ($8). They match my HIDs perfectly and provide quite a bit of ditch lighting compared to HID low beams alone. Since we have HID lows that stay on when switching to highs I think it would be smarter to get HID high beams. A friend has them on his vette. His high beams are like aircraft landing lights! They just take a second or two to come on full strength.

don't really need HID... H-11 yellow halogen works just as good. also when you run h-11 hid in the fogs, it gets super bright, almost like another high beam .
this is mine w/ halogen yellows:

I always thought that HID's gave out LESS heat than halogen bulbs...?

HID's give out way less heat, they run at about 30 watts, as opposed to halogen which run about 55 watts for a standard headlight bulb. The difference is that HID's need a step up transformer to run at 36 volts instead of 12.

I'm not so sure about this, but every website that I've read about HID's, they said that HID draws lesser energy and that it actually runs cooler then halogen.
