I was loving the yellow fog lights, and i am running Luminic's halogen bulbs. I could see very easily. Yellow is easy on the eye, so it was interesting to note how much of a difference it was with 2500K light vs 4300K light.

I feel bad for guys with 12K lights in a rainstorm at night. I've driven with 8K HID's in the rain and night, and even that started to be a challenge.

I have HIDs for my fogs.. Xentech 3000k, yes i dont have my high beams anymore, but i only used high beams to flash them so the slow poke infront would move, with my 3000s they blind people so i get the same effect without having to flash the beams.. they just move automatically.. haha


Its hard to get a good pic of the fogs.. seems like everything glares off..

Here's a night pic...again, 8k hid low beam and 3k hid fog light.



And a video cycling through low beam, fogs, and off.

Video was much better before uploading, but should give a fair idea of how bright they are.

I believe it's American Titan. I ordered it through Amplified Motorsport (www.amplifiedmotorsport.com) also a vendor here.

Thanks, man! I had a similar experience driving on an unfamiliar Colorado mountain road in a downpour. The 2500K fogs on my truck really cut through and helped see the black road, especially the ditch!

I feel bad for guys with 12K lights in a rainstorm at night.
Yeah, that must be a scary situation outside of the city.

Only issue with the Luminics halogen bulbs is they are higher wattage than stock. SO they tend to run HOT. WHen i turn mine on, the headlight housing gets pretty hot. That's really the main reason why i don't drive with them on all the time.

Usually it's raining, or snowing, so the cool rain and snow or sub-32* temps helps keep things cool...somewhat.

I've had a set of Piaa Plasma Ions for the fog/highs for a few weeks sitting in the garage. I'm reluctant to put them in becasue of the contrast between the oem HIDs next to them. They look good from what i've seen here. I'll search *achem* before I ask if anyones done a mod to run fogs without low beams.

Yeah video is sh*t. Plus they're not stock, they're 8k so theres a good amount of reduced visibility. I got ninja eyes so I catch on quick, haha
