wouldn't it pretty much defeat the purpose of having fog lights if you put HID's in them?

I had the pure blue, and they matched up pretty well with my 8k hid's. But they burned out, so now i think i'm going to give yellow a shot.

i left my fogs stock cuz just about all cars that have OEM HID's in the headlights have halogen fog lights and thats the look im going for (OEM)...purely personal preference though...if u want an exact match and dont need the fogs from a functional perspective ur better off going HID just b/c u can always tell the diff between a true HID light and a fake colored halogen
