Hi Geoff,
no not done yet, but i too spoke to Ian at hids about this a while back,as i wanted the whole front looking white, i got the 501 Led sidelights, changed my xenon D2S bulbs to super white, main beam to super white, just leaving my fogs yellow
The Hid fogs should complete the look, especially if you have sides and fogs enabled as driving lights, which i'm sure you being the "faultmate south guru" must have!!
What is the best colour for maximising visibility in fog? It's not white - I thought it was a yellow anyway.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Took about 40 mins in total with a coffee break looking like a good upgrade cheers Lee for the heads up :thumbsup:
Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated
and yes it is illegal to use fog lights as daytime driving lights
Thats the bit that I was thinking of!
Legalisties of HID's into halogen fogs, is probably dubious!Mark.

how do you mean ''using fogs as running lights'' sorry for stupid question. i always use side-lights and fogs combo while driving during the day regardless of conditions. didnt realise there were legalities.
