Go xenon.... bam!
Seriously though, that's what I did. I know what you're thinking, but it's not nearly as blinding as you might think.
I live in a pretty rural area, so it's nice to have.

I got the luminics. They're pretty white and at a good price too. I'll have pics of them tomorrow after I put my bumper back.

Stocks look like your stock headlights. Since I'm going HID, I would like the color of the fogs to be as close as my headlights.

Definitely do the headlights first... might look a bit goofy with HID fogs and halogen headlights :)

The bulbs were ultra white and they're 130 watt bulbs with a 55 watt draw supposedly giving out a 5150k color temp. You can see the pics with the link below.

Foglights + Luminics H11 installed

They don't look like they are burning the housings or anything. I just put my fogs on and dont want to have to do that install again? Are you using laminex as well?

I've just had it for a day so I don't know yet if they will be burning the housing. If let everyone know if they do. I don't have laminex.

How could 130W bulbs possibly run at anything less than 130W???? :face-icon
For a 55W bulb to convert 130W into light, you would have to be creating 75W of electrical energy... and last time I checked, creating energy is impossible.
If the bulb says 55W on it, it's converting 55W to light (or a fair bit less given that it's not nearly 100% efficient), and no more.
