I bought the 55 WATT HIGH-OUTPUT DIGITAL BIXENON HID for the headlights in 4300k.

here you can see the difference in color between the halogen PIAA fogs and the HID headlights



And these pics are after upgrading fogs to HID. It's really hard to photograph lights in a way that does them justice but believe me, they are VERY good.

BTW, My fogs aren't the stock ones. I replaced them with PIAA driving lights and converted those to HID. They put out so much light I can hardly ever use them, but when I do it's like daylight :-D

Here is a recent pic of my interior lighting with blue LEDs in the map lights. I also have footwell and cup holder lights so keep that in mind.



I got them from http://www.superbrightleds.com/

Love this, do you have DIY installation guide for footwell lights and possibly cupholder too? That would be awesome.

That is a nice shot. Pictures really don't do justice because I have HID's in my headlights and man, they lit up the road. Just wondering about the PIAA and the foglight situation. I hear people say when you upgrade fogs to PIAA, you have much greater light output, true? If so, where did you get your PIAA foglights from?
