There are definitely conversion kits for HID fog lights. I'm using H11 LEDs though from v-leds but aipex8 installed HIDs if I remember correctly.

Thanks man, I think I know which ones I'm gonna buy. I'm starting a feel for some VLED's on my 8 My final question for today is: Grom audio, Does anyone know about their Bluetooth Dongle and how it works?

^^ i would also recommend superbrightleds.com for the fog lights, pretty decent quality and quite a bit cheaper than vleds. it's all your own personal preference. anyways you bought the right color!

this is blue led parking and fog lights from superbrightleds

WOW SamPappas that's freakin sexy. I like the LED's but I want some use of my fogs since living out here in the country side fog tends to be a killer out here. One thing bro what color are your Low beams 8K?

Thanks! yeah the low beams are 8k. but you really don't get use out of the foglights no matter what because you can't have them on with the low beams off *unless you rewire*. but i know that neither the 8k HID's nor the stock halogens put out enough light that i would drive without the low beams. she's came a long way since i got her, when i got it, it didn't even have the appearance package and was entirely stock

The rewire is really simple though so that's no biggie. Idiotic that they made it that way in the first place.

Man I'm liking this all the more on how easy it is to mod the 8. I'll be ordering HID's for my fogs soon and already have ordered 8000K d2s bulbs. Today driving her in the rain was amazing, complete control like if it's an extension of your body on the road. Not even the pervious car (cobalt ss) I had can compare to the 8. The smoothness of the ride without the worry or danger of the down pouring rain gives you peace of mind on the road (or it could be the tires lol) in any case I'm just loving this car all the more.
