you should match the fogs with the heads. it makes our trucks look bad***** going down the road.

Yea, the heck with having the fog lights do what they are supposed to do; lighting up ahead during a foggy and unsafe driving condition....have them look "bad*****" instead.

I totally agree. IMHO (not to offend anyone that has done this) people that put HID's in fogs are toolbags. I feel that they simply want the look. Spending an extra $100ish on another set of bulbs/ballasts for a lighting system that was designed for reflecting light only short distances but wide is useless. Save your money and get a set of blue bulbs for the fogs if you want to match the look. It is senseless to add HID's to fog lights.

Default HID Projectors

Does anyone know if these headlights are compatible with HIDs. I am thinking about ordering these lights but I want to make sure I can put HIDs in them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
These are the lights.
