Replacing fogs.. Upgrade to HID?

My fog light lenses are broken and one of the bulbs burned out so I need to replace the lenses and bulbs. I think I might want to upgrade to HID tho. My question is who sells quality HID kits online? (don't want ebay) I remember 2 years ago when I bought my car I was looking on here and found a link to a really cool website for HID bulbs and kits but I cant seem to find it anywhere (If I see the name I'm sure I will remember) anyways, Whats the forum favorite website for HID fogs?

check the group deal section on here.

HIDextra seems to be pretty good at a very reasonable price.

you have to pick up a pair of fogs off eBay/dealer/part-out/whatever and a hid kit separately.

rosader > I got a kit off ebay for $80 and installed it yesterday, see page two of this thread http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...-included.html

The worked great, but required a little bit of rewiring... nothing too hard though

What color do you want your HIDs to be?

You won't be able to find 4300K hids for your fogs unfortunately... closest is 6000K but a little more blueish than headlights.

Just ask them, they have great tech support. I went with 6K. Request the "little" bulbs for easy fitment.

When it comes to fog light, there's is nothing illegal in changing the OEM color - Thus, It's a diffrent story for headlights.
