HID Fogs Have Very Bad Condensation
#11
It has nothing to do with your particular truck, it's just a matter of scientific fact. Halogen reflector housings scatter the light from HiD capsules due to the improper position and orientation of the arc. Halogen bulbs use a filament in a very specific orientation and location, and the reflector housings are designed to very precise specifications to ensure that they produce a useable light which will minimize the glare. When you use a HID bulbs, the light reflects in a manner that causes it to scatter in all directions, including up and into the eyes of oncoming traffic.
Additionally, the light produced from 8000k color temperature is not as effective as a lower temp. 5000k is about the point of diminishing returns, with 4300k being optimal for useable light output, hence ALL OEM HIDs being 4300k.
You obviously have your own opinion of your lights, but opinion is trumped by facts, and there really just isn't a winning argument for your position.

I appreciate yer efforts here. However, in this regard, I've found that you generally can't fix Millennial obtuseness or stupidity, or salvage folks who are living within their own personal Reality Distortion Fields.
I reckon Texas A&M also does not have anything remotely resembling 'Common Sense 101' in their curriculum. It's no wonder that Texas has all of those Walmart jobs - that's where capons like these end up

At the point that "fog lights" would be truly useful, you probably wouldnt be driving any faster than 5-10mph anyway. The scattered light from the HIDs in reflector housings will cause visibility issues for the driver in foggy conditions.
