Default Do not buy HID for fog light

Made the mistake of buying HID in my foglights and the first time I went offroading after that I guess I hit something because they were shattered. Go with HID in top main lights, then LED in the fog lights. They will be almost as bright and you can basically throw a brick at the bulb and it won't crack.

I hope you got projectors to go with the HID bulbs; and didn't just put HID bulbs in stock housing...

If you're curious why, google Daniel Stern Lighting and read his info on why.

Does anyone make a direct replacement led kit for the factory fog lights
