juhko, i use some cheap 8000k diamond white H1 kit, forgot what brand it was.

just to clarified the mixup for others: you dont have to buy a "HID foglight kit" as a whole, but rather just find the type of housing you like, disgard the halogen bulb and replace with your favorite HIDS. its much cheaper this way cus "HID foglight" goes for about $800 to $1100
should have the lights on today!.. i just have not had time to do this..

i am doing a how-to write up on this.. heres a few teasers:

Wow, those look great...

I wonder how these would look in there:

PIAA 002 Turbo-L LED Lamp

or these HID fog lamps:


the Hella Black Magic lights might look a little more subtle...
