Default Fog lamp help

Hi im new here so I apologize if there has been a post regarding this already.
So I just got a 2000 Gs300 and the fog lights are fairly bad dim not bright at all. I wanted to switch them to HID fogs but I need a bit of help with it, do I need a full kit, relay kit etc.... so If anyone can spare some knowledge it would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.

easy. some kits will come with relay harness. you might need to splice wires to get harness to battery due to location of battery. Am i the only one with green HID fogs? =(

my HID fogs are cheap though. $50

A 2000 Lexus GS300 uses a 9006 bulb in the fog light. HID's are 2-3 times brighter than halogen so will give you considerably more visibility. A Lexus does not require a relay on the fog lights, so using one would be completely optional. We sell both Volt and Xtreme kits that would work great in this application. 4300K would be the brightest color temperature but a lot of people choose 3000K (yellow) as well in the fogs.
