Worth getting HID on stock Foglights

Is it worth getting HIDs for Stock Foglights?

Should I get a different type of foglight?

EDIT***I read your original post wrong...thought you were tlaking about Headlights...

NO. The only thing that would be worth getting is Projectors and retrofit them into your stock housing. It does take a bit more time since you need to "retro-fit" them in. Youll get to much glare from just an HID system in your stock housing. Projectors do look great. Im waiting to put mine in.

Try hidplanet.com. They have a H3 projector. They are pretty small and I think they are like 50 bucks a pair.

i have the helio hid h3 6000k in stock housing, i have no problems at all. they are nice and bright and do not blind people you might have to aim them down a bit but for the most part i think they are worth it. I love mine,as for the hids in head lights the only ones that are a nice combo is the custom enterprise housing.This housing gives you a better beam pattern and will not blind people i have these and are more than happy with them. Now if you are looking for cream of the crop them you will have to modify the stock housing with Acura TL PROJECTORS which i hear are the best,im actually thinking of doing this once there is a good write up. good luck on whatever route you choose.
