Default HID fogs question

Apparently I ordered a set of Xenon fogs 5K for my 2012 SC F150
Anyone else using them ? Any Problems?Will they blind oncoming traffic.If so is there a projector I can add to them?

Yes they will blind oncoming traffic. Foglamps produce a ton of glare with HID capsules. Honestly, stick to halogens in the fogs. Intensifying the foreground with HID actually hurts your own vision as well as the oncoming traffic.

You can properly do it by buying a projector and putting the hid bulbs in. Which won't blind anyone so long as you aim them..

Something like the Morimoto Matchbox Bi-Xenon Projectors can be modded in to the fog housing. Check out some of the guys who do retrofits.

But never just run hid bulbs will blind people.
