Question White Fog Lights

Hey guys this is my first thread I've ever started. I've been looking for information on white fog lights for my 03 EVO 8 but really can't find anything useful so I figured I would ask the community.

Does anyone already have this on there car? If so what bulbs do you have? Where did you get them from? How much where they? Have you had any problems with them?

Thanks for anything you guys are able to tell me.

If you want white, you're going to have to install an HID kit with 4300K for the bulbs. This temperature is the closest to sunlight. There are a some halgen bulbs like Silverstars that can approximate this, but IMO are not as good as true HID.

Your current HID system can only power your low beams, you can't set it up to run 2 more bulbs. You will have to add whole 'nother HID system with H11 bulbs to run the fogs. And if you wanted HID high beams you'd need yet another HID system, for a total of three, one stock and two aftermarket.

The DOT says if its not OEM HID, its for off road use only. That's why you won't find them at most parts and accessories dealers that are based in the US.
