Thinking about converting to HID fogs (instead of LED). Is there a HID Conversion kit you would recommend? Trying to keep costs down but I heard the cheap one's can go out easily.

Also would you recommend the relay harness or is standard bulb transfer enough? I don't want them cutting out.

I did get the HIDextra HID kit and was good for about 8 months and started to randomly shut off then eventually shut off right after I would turn them on. They were less than $60 but you get what you pay for imho. I have the Putco's and been headache free since!
