Default What Fog Lights To Get?

Hey, my Luminics Titanium White Fog lights recently just died after 1 and half year. I was just wondering if Nokya Artic Whites are better or maybe some other brand. Or should i just get Luminics again. Thanks in advance.

Don't waste your money on halogen, waste it on HIDs.

get a set of halogen bulbs that compliment the OEM color of your headlights- those super high priced halogen bulbs are a gimmick in my opinion.
You could also do HIDs, but HIDs in halogen housings just turn me off, even if it's just for fog lights and won't spit out as much blinding glare to other drivers

hmm seems like a majority consensus for HID. I agree too, however, I am low on money at the moment. Any estimates on what an HID fog light conversion would be? Thanks a lot for such fast and great suggestions!

I was considering HID's for the fogs, but it's bad for them to constantly turn on/off with the cycling of the stock hi beams.

Any way to keep the fogs on with the high's on... yet?

What I do is just turn them off, flash your hi-beams and what not, then about 30 secs later turn them back on.

Xentec a good brand? Also, anyone with experience buying them off ebay to confirm it's legitimacy? Thanks.

I have 4 sets that I've installed on these. Also get the digital slim version. So far so good. The seller's ID is supervtec or something like that.
