RE: HIDs and fog lights
Buy the 8000K headlight HIDs from stangmods.com and then buy the luminics yellow fog light bulbs i think you can also get them at stang mods or i know for sure on ebay. Problems solved you get the bright headlights you wanted and the yellow fogs you wanted!

Kids...
Fogs should not be brighter OR whiter... If you want driving lights, then go that route. Fog lights should typically be no more than 55 watts, towards the warm side of the spectrum (yeah, yellow) and with a short wide throwto befunctional. If you want to look like something from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, then be my guest. But I'll be using your lamps for target practice if you have all that crap blazing in MY rearview.

RE: HIDs and fog lights
wow, i just realized the bulbs there are h13 or 9008 (same thing)...my dakota is 9008. i can get my hid kit there and save some money, and the kit sounds more user friendly than the kits i have been lookin at for my dakota. however, i have 1 question on the kits sold at stangmods.com.....it says "single beam" so i assume they are just a low beam kit and not high/low kits, am i correct?
edit
just realized my fogs are the same part number too! who would have known?
edit 2
down the page, i found the link for the bixenon kit...nvm above post. this site has cheaper kits than the other sites ive found, and the kits seem very user friendly. i believe i will be purchasing a kit from them instead. how is their quality, not just of lighting, but the quality of the manufactured pieces that come with the kit?

RE: HIDs and fog lights
First off...the front of the cars will look ABSOLUTELY terrible if you put fog lights in all four...and like stated above...you wont be able to use all four, it will be blinding...
The foglights on these cars are ugly enough..and now you want to make them yellow? or HID so they stick out even more??
Get rid of the foglights and put in a HID kit in the headlights...looks much cleaner...
