HID fogs or just bulbs

Recently purchased a 2010 sport and I am in need of a new front bump while it is being repaired I want to change out the bulbs in my fogs to somewhat match the HID headlights any recommendations would be appreciated

Get the Morimoto Elite from the retrofit source dot com...can't go wrong with this!

Had it on my car for 6 months now and it still going strong...strongly recommended!

You can go with either as long as you get the right one...remember the fogs are 55W, so any kit you buy make sure its 55W...
I personally got the HID kit, but wrong voltage so they burned out 6 months down the road.
So i am switching back to HAlogens...getting 2500K

I swapped out my Halogen Fog Bulbs for an HID kit I picked up from V-Leds.com. I think they are getting out the HID game, but I have had them in both my cars and truck and I love the quality. They make driving on a no light highway seem like your driving in the daylight. I have several sets of D2S and H11 bulbs, so that I can switch when I want a different look. But I prefer the 6K Blue bulbs in both.

TheRetrofitSource.com for anything and everything you need. Sure, they're a little pricey compared to DDM, eBay, or VVME but you're getting a much better product which is constantly being developed and updated in house.

for people that swapped out their h11 halogens to HID....Do you get crazy glare with the fogs? Almost everything I have read says that the HID's are fine in modern projector housings like our headlights have, but the fogs are just a bare, open housing, no reflector or anything. I don't want to blind any oncoming traffic.

Also, does anyone know of a projector-type foglight alternative that will match up the factory fog locations?
