To those that have HID in your fogs

I have an 03.5 with the HID headlights. I have a few questions about putting HIDs in the fogs.

-Do I need a slim ballast or will a regular work?
-What kind of bulb do I need to get the fogs AND highs to work?
-What size is the bulb? (type)

I would go with a slim ballast. You need an H4 bulb.

Where did you get the H4 bi-xenons at? I use vvme.com ... They accidentally sent me another ballast (non slim) when all I did was order bulbs... So i was wanting to use those. You think if I buy H4 bixenon bulbs from them I could make it work?

My biggest thing is that I have 6000k in my lows right now and just silverstars in the fogs/highs. My headlights are SHOT so I don't get a lot of light dispersion.. so I have some trouble at nights (also a combination of the fact that I have a tinted windshield). It's not that bad.. but I feel like I'm constantly outdriving them... especially when it gets raining. So I bought BRAND NEW headlights and am contemplating what I'm gonna do with them. I really wish we could have projectors easily

But seeing as how these new headlights will have brand new 4300k bulbs I thought about using them. But the 6000k looks so good!

yea 6000k do look good...go 4300k on lows and fogs 4300k or 6000k top and bottom or 4300k lows and 3000k fogs....brighter the better with tinted windshield i have 35% on mines..(neighborhood streets where i live are dark at night so helps me out a lot and after 2am super foggy thats why went with 3000k fogs)

I think I'm gonna take that advice and go with 4300k in my lows since they're brand new... then do 3000k in my fogs. I may have to wait a month or so to order because I just dropped another $500 on my already ****'d out G

It actually looks like bixenons could use a different ballast because there are 3 prongs on a bi-xenon bulb
