Anyone know of any good fob lights that are similar looking to HID's? I have the factory ones which have the yellow/white light to them but they are not very bright. Are there any bulbs or conversion kits for the fog lights in the A/C?

You are comparing 35W HIDs to 35W halogens. No? That's like comparing 35W compact flourescents to 35W incandescents. There is no direct comparison. A 35W HID is FAR brighter than even a 55W halogen! Plus the HID offers so much more control over the colour.

Was there any melting when you just changed the bulbs?

Link FAIL. I see nothing in the other thread about a $2 bulb...

Hoen Makes a "xeno-match" H11 bulb that is a direct swap out -
