It wasn't because of the money. I didn't want the crazy glare from HID fogs. Plus I don't want to run a replay and harness kit plus all the ballasts for the fogs. All want is the fogs to compliment the rest of the lights on the car
HID kits are "plug n' play" too. HID bulb connects to ballast, ballast connects to factory plug.
I usually run a relay and harness for aftermarket HID kit. This way I don't run a chance of burning my stock wiring harness. Just a prescaution since stock wiring on the fogs are meant for hallogen only.

Wiring on halogen bulbs are usually thinner and not adequate for the initial power-up/ignition of the HID ballasts to warm up the HID bulbs. Especially on older model cars. That is why sometimes when you start up the car at night with all of the HID bulbs and the rest of the lighting ignited at the same time, one of them wouldn't light up because of not enough juice. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough though. I have experienced this with my older and newer cars. Never had burned harness but I would rather not take that risk. A dedicated 12 gauge harness and relay to get the power from the battery give me a peace of mind.
Plus the glare with HID on reflector type of fog light housings is too much and drowns out the rest of your lighting. That's just my opinion though.
