One of my fog lights kinda fell off and crack, and I have it ghetto taped right now and its fine, but maybe its time.... I have some nice HID regular lights, which are like brighter than my hi-beams, lol, but I would like some fogs to compliment them... my choices?

1. Standard HID fogs, OEM style or aftermarket, $40-$60 I think from like DDM
DDM Tuning : Fog Lights (http://www.ddmtuning.com/Product-Categories/HID-Kits-Lighting/Fog-Lights)

2. Or what I really like, are the 8 LED daytime/switched lights that fit in the fog hole, but are these bright enough to make a difference at night? Or are they all looks only? Like this:
Euro 8 LED Daytime Running Light DRL Driving Fog BMW - eBay (item 280588342666 end time Feb-10-11 02:51:42 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Euro-8-LED-Daytime-Running-Light-DRL-Driving-Fog-BMW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33713QQitemZ2805883 42666)

Or anything else u guys have that might be cool, but I do not want to spend over $70 or so for the kit since I am also paying to get them installed, thanks!!!

Do you ever use the fog lights for fog? I can't say I ever have - seems they are mostly for looks, at least most of the time I see people using them it's a nice clear night.

In FL we never get fog... my priority is actually to get more illumination and then the coolness factor... I want as much light as possible since my night vision isnt great, as long as it doesnt blind anyone.

If you want serious, no-******** advice on lighting, contact Dan Stern at Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/nhtsa/NHTSA.html)

I doubt that he has any $70 kits, but if you can't see at night, he'll be able to help.

My brackets scare me since one of the lights fell out, but I'll give it a go with just new lights and see what happens, if it snaps in...

Any opinions on these fog projector lights? I am on a budget!
