Great Deal on Good HID Kits! (Now I have a question)

Hey all,
I'm getting ready to order some HID's for my car from the same place where I ordered them for my old truck. They're a really big company among the full size chevy community, and kind of a well kept secret, I never had a problem with them on my truck, AND they're warrantied for 14 months. Anyway, I'll tell the website after I ask this question. I'm getting ready to order them for my 06 ss/sc and what would you guys do, Lows and Fogs or just Lows? I had planned on going with the Lows and Fogs, but one of my friends thinks it will probably just be a waste, and said that having HID foglights sucks because they don't work as foglights anymore, you may as well have your brights on. Can anyone help me out in my decision? Also, the site for them is www.vvme.com the kits are really cheap, downside is a 55.00 delivery fee, but they're worth it, anyway, thanks guys!

I live in West Virginia, Northern during the school year, southern during the summer, and during the summer fog can be Hell, but it's just when it decides it wants to be, haha.. Decided on the HID's because the stock lighting really sucks in my opinion, I even tried the " whitest brightest halogen" Silverstars, and boy that was a waste of money, They don't shine any farther than the stock lights. I'm guessing with +1 degree of Aiming and HID's i'll never need to use my high beams again.

They're both just one bulb, same installation. Just depends on whether you want highs and lows, or just one beam to run all the time.

when you say a 55 dollar delivery fee, do you mean shipping? so it'd be 100 bucks per kit for a single beam?

Exactly. it's like a flat rate shipping thing. They sale at whole sale prices, so whether you buy one kit or 20, shipping is still 55 bucks.

They're good kits. Most everyone on GMfullsize.com swears by them.

How would it be possible to wire high and low beams with just one bulb?

You can only use them if the car comes factory that way.

He tried contacting them after it went out, they never replied.

Just a heads up.
