What is the best way to make 2010 fogs look like 2013/2014 fog lights. With a led kit or HID kit? and does anybody have any experience with certain kits they would reccomend

Welcome to the forum.

Which fogs are you looking for on the 2013/2014 models? That would be your best starting point. My honest advice to you would be to stick with what your 2010 has already. When you start using cheapo aftermarket HIDS and LEDS things start looking pretty ricer and cheap.

There are some forum members here that have done complete front end swaps to make it look good. Better have a few grand to throw away if you go this route.

no. your lights aren't a fashion accessory. if you put HIDs in them you're a terrible person.

I will take leaving them stock into account for now, but I bought the car and the person before me did a 2013 headlight swap on it correctly and I just want my fogs to match the OEM headlights. It would be the fogs mounted on the front grill

putting HIDs in your fog lights is a bad thing to do and we're not going to tell you how to do it. I'm pretty sure you can't use the LED modules for the '13-'14 fogs; if they're not built into the housing then they're surely a non-standard part. and the cheap LED modules you can get to put in the place of halogens usually suck because the light source is all wrong for the reflector.

HID's will blind people, low wattage LEDs like raxioms will work and serve their purpose (for others to see you not for you to see others)

HID's in halogen housings are a no-no. They look terrible and produce a ton of glare.
