HID fog... anyone with expierence? Help

So i have already installed some 6000K ultinons and i now want a yellow jdm looking type fog. I want something bright to. i was trolling the net and found this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=370080141778

I dont have any real expierence with HID fogs and if this Mcullough brand is reliable but if anyone has pictures or any helpful advice please let me know.

looks like a quality product. but it is pricey. i have a few sources that get them for 150 a kit.

look up advancedautomotiveconcepts. you shouldnt be dissapointed
and btw i also have 6000k headlights and 3000k fogs. its an amazing look that will turn heads on its own.

here goes the basic questions I could find by searching or the manual but....

Is the light afterwards dramatically better? Right now, they do pretty much nothing for me.

Also, it doesn't appear possible to use the fogs without the headlights on, or am I missing something?

Lastly, where are you all mounting the ballasts and hardware?

Looked on Sylvania's site and it calls for a 9006.

i had a 6000k kit in my fogs, was the light dramatically better? I wouldn't say so. There wouldn't be a HUGE difference when i had my headlights on, then turned on the fogs... The main difference would be i would have more light that's above the cutoff on our headlights. So stop signs would shine from further away (but that would also mean i would be blinding on-coming traffic) so i took it out.

i highly doubt 3000k fogs will do much damage to on-coming traffic.

judging from hid fog pictures that i have been comparing anything over 3000k is going to be alot harsher to the level eye (on-coming traffic)

seems to me you are strongly against HID fogs.

Yes, I don't like people who only care about themselves on the road and don't give a sh*t if they are blinding other drivers.

3000k = Blinding Really?

I have seen 3000k fogs in person (not a G35) but didnt seem to be blinding all.
OH WELL TO EACH HIS OWN.
