[QUOTE=KML505;4352992]I had the same issue a few weeks back when my yellow bulbs went out. Since switching to 8K bulbs to match my low beam...I can not tell you how happy I have been. Both lights look sick at night and separates you even further from other cars in our class, even other 2IS too. You need to get the ones with the thin ballast though or else it wont fit. Also...because of the wiring of our cars, the fog light will not work when you use the high beam. Hope this helps. I think I want to get some yellow HIDs next for the fogs.[/QUOTE

Is this true? I tried searching and found nothing.

Since everyone got HID? What will look good on SGM? What are the best brand? How to choose between 3K, 6K and 8k?

I will consider it as first mod once I receive my car!

10k fogs are just for looks, don't help. I have 8k lows and fogs, wish I went with 6k though for visibility. HID fogs help the car look a lot better forsure and within reasonable temperatures, can help with visibility.
