FYI......fog lights should be yellow as it increases visibilty since they don't reflect like a white light...

what kit and bixenon or just low beam and how much

XenTec bi-xenon for $119. Was using Silverstars, but another one burnt out, so I figured I'd give these a try. And I'm getting older, so my vision sucks at night //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I was gonna go with some HID's for my dakota. My fogs are already bright as shit. But I've been reading about too many problems with the plug and play HID's. Some are going out early. And if you have voltage drop from your system it will affect the HID's. I just put the Silverstar ultras in and they are great. A real world of difference.

HIDs look best when paired with projectors...

I wanted to upgrade my lights to HID but I have the plain old "textured" headlight lens so it would basically just throw light everywhere and blind anyone in my path...

So I'm thinking about retrofitting some projectors, might be a fun project for you to try. You would need your stock headlight assemblies, projector lenses, shrouds, (bulbs/ballasts aka the HID "kit"), and basic hand tools and glues and you could make something really sharp looking.
