Default Fog light alternatives??

Kinda over the stock fog lights. Looked around a bit for some alternative ideas, and haven't seen much I like. Anyone have any input, feel free. LED, or Halogen.

Thanks,
Josh

the HIDs came with a conversion kit and balast and was all plug and play.

these are xenon HID 9005s i believe H10s work as well

I am thinking about upgradING my fog lights. Not sure whether to go with a HID kit or just a better quality bulb. Any opinions or advice will be greatly appreciated. BTW I am currently looking at this kit in the event that I end up with an HID swap:

Easier than what I first expected. Had my dad help me out because he's much better with this sort of stuff but after realizing, it's quite simple.

Removed old fog by twisting out, replace the HID by twisting in. Connect the adapter together (positive and negative matter) with the ballast then mount to bracket somewhere under the hood.

Nearly lost my **** the other night driving down rural highways because so many idiots have hids in both their halogen headlight and foglight housings. It's incredibly blinding and it doesn't even put out much light for you. It just scatters the light. Get some quality halogen bulbs, they will outperform the HIDs by a lot.
