probably aftermarket fogs. Is the output with the halo fogs any good or should I just stick with regular aftermarket fogs with HIDs??

couple hundred. I thought that HIDs that were around $120-150 were high quality, but seeing that I could get a decent pair at $60 from v-led.com, I might go with those...actually 2 pair...1 for low beams, 1 for fogs.

They're universal, just gotta find a place to mount them.

Judging by your sig, seems like they'll fit the stock location.

There aren't your flashy type of fog lamps, just a nice full beam with a crisp cut off.

If that's not the look you're after, link me something that you're after :P

Well, it's up to you if you want halo's, I'm more of a function over form kinda guy :P

Haven't really heard much about them. Have you seen PIAA's line up of fogs?

I don't like the output of halos. Will probably stick with the regular OEM fogs, but I'd like to use HIDs for fogs...still not sure whether to go with 3k yellow or 5k pure white so that it matches the HID low beams.

You're probably better off staying away from those Halo fogs. I have them, and the projector bulbs died within weeks. The halos look nice, but they do nothing for light output.
