I really want HID fogs for the add'l illumination, but don't want to lose any light in the headlighs by going with 6K. What I really want to do is ditch the fogs altogether and have some real driving lights installed in the same spot. However, good HID driving lights from Hella and PIAA are big bucks, like $1000+.

For this reason, I found some halogen kits from PIAA that look like they'll fit in the stock fog location. Here's 2 kits that may work:

They are both at the top of the page. Maybe 2 or 3 down.

While they aren't HID, they are pretty white looking and would actually provide auxilliary lighting for driving. They'd be functional.

The downside is that the mounting location is far from ideal. Driving lights work much better when mounted up high...fogs OTOH are designed to mount low. Another option is to install HID fogs and then mount the aux driving lights on either side of the license plate in the opening. they'd still be pretty low but then I could keep the nice white appearance of HID fogs.

I had a set of real driving lights on a former vehicle and they were great on back roads at night. They were wired so that they could only come on if hi-beams were on and immediately went off when I switched off the highs down to low beams.
