I just put 6000k hid's in my truck and love the look. I just have to get some hid's to replace my fog lights

It is worth saying that you should NOT use HID bulbs in standard reflector housings. The beam is very intense and bright, and thus needs to be focused and directed specifically so it won't blind other drivers. Projector housings are designed in a different way for a reason. If you decide to toss HID's in a standard reflector housing, expect a LOT of other drivers to be flashing their high beams at you. May even end up with the blue lights in your rear-view because (in most states) the law specifically describes how bright your lights can be in other drivers' faces.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm unsure whether to go with some higher end halogens or just throw some HID's in. Still undecided =/

If I didn't have hid's I'd put in brighter halogens, and I've never seen hid's with ballasts or other wiring
