I have the Luminics, but i never use them.

If i keep my lights on for a minute, the housings become incredibly hot! So i only use the yellow fog lamps when it's raining so the cool rain helps keep the light cooler.

I'm bored of the yellow fog look though...looks "dirty". I'd like to find a white bulb that doesn't necessarily need to match the HID...it just needs to look white without being higher wattage either

Is the adjustment for the fogs or the entire headlight housing?

i wonder how long would they last. i remember changing foglight bulbs on my civic once every half year or so. it'd suck to do that on my G coz i'd have to take the entire freaking bumper off. (my foglights are hiding behind the lower grills).

I have the PIAAs as well. The look is a bit "dirty", but I'm not concerned about the look. I care about function and having yellow fogs is amazing in the dark and rain.
