Fog lights to match HID headlights?
Just this past weekend I bought a 08 Mustang GT and I love it! First(little) thing I want to do is change out of the fog lights to match the HID headlights. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions? I think I read the HID in the mustang are 5300K and the fog light size is H10. Not sure if I should get LED's like these (http://store.ijdmtoy.com/9005-HB3-LE...-lights-4d.htm) or if there are halogen bulbs that can match the brightness level of the HID's. Any suggestions?

HOEN bulbs look close enough to HID, and they're only about 30 bucks. Plus you don't have to worry about ballasts, power, etc. They are a direct swap.

The H11 kit refers to the v6 pony package. The H10 is the kit you need. Trust me, I ordered the wrong kit through retro-solutions due to the same problem.
