i like my fogs and think they work just fine in bad weather. at least they illuminate the street right in front of you unlike the headlights..

I'm really starting to like that yellow fog light look though...

I like the amber bulbs in the side markers, but gotcha!

Do you not have HIDs? These driving lamps are so vastly over-powered by the headlights, there's little - very little - visibility difference w/ them on. Perhaps 1 - 3 feet to the very lower edges of the road.

All LEDs and HIDs
8000k HID headlights $60 bulbs only
3000K HID Fog lights $70~80 whole kit
LED stripes from Pepboys $20~30(the one I use for the license plate and under the hood
LED kit for the front, $30~40 from autozone
and all LED for the interior, including the LED Vanity Lights Mirror Visor

↓currently no parking light and side marker light, personal taste for now ^^
8000K HID headlights and 3000K HID fogs

↓And some LED strips for the rear license plate

↓Used to have some 911 turbo look LED front strips

↓Used to have some blue parking lights

↓Used to have some LEDs even for my hood, can light up the whole engine bay, dont have that on my carbon fiber hood now ><

↓that's how bright is the license plate ^^

I don't mean to get off topic, but how are your headlights so clean? One of mine is starting to get that old, dirty plastic look. Does anyone know a product that would take this off? I assume it is on the outside and not the inside.
