New HID Fogs

Ok guys yesterday I installed my new 50W-5K HIDs in the PIAA fog lights. This was an all day affair. Jacked the car up, removed the wheels, took off the bumper, removed the fogs then retrofitted the HIDs. There was a lot of splicing and wiring, but I took my time and did it right. Every splice was soldered, taped and covered in heat shrink tubing. The end results are awesome, these lights are as bright as hell, wouldn't even need the mains to drive. I wanted to also install my newly retrofitted halos and blacked out housings but I ran out of time. I will do that project on Saturday. Anyway here are some pics let me know what you think.

Wow - its possible that this thread just saved me about $400 bucks.
Don't get me wrong - I think it looks AWESOME!! However, having just purchased the concept bumper I was looking for the HID fogs just like yours and a guy quoted me $400 installed for them.

But now that I look at your pics I am having second thoughts about'em HID fogs as I think they may just be too bright?..... plus I can't see me even using them

Quick question... What Brand and Temp (K) are you running in your main low/high beams???

BTW Please show detailed pics once you do the Blackout and Halos.

I know I won't use them that much either, so why spend the large amount of $ if I won't use them too often?

+1, If you already have the PIAA Ring lights then the HID conversion kit is 145.00, do the install yourself. Not that hard just time consuming.
