You can always put HIDs in for your fog lights too. I've been running mine for years with out a problem or am I missing something?

That's what I would think to, but they have a "fog light" search choice with no H11s in that category

Ah gotcha. Personally I rock Nokya hyper yellow bulbs with my 5k hid lights. Just food for thought.

Foglights on our cars are pretty much dead on design. They have a beautiful cut off shield and brightness is perfect. To make it illuminate more, try to get some PIAA bulbs or get a 35w / 55w hid kit. H11 bulbs are required.
If your wanting to get a perfect yellow tint. Get 3k temp bulbs.
Clear 4.3k
White with small hint if blue 6k
Blueish tint 8k.
As temps rise , color goes to purpleish pink.
Find what you like and slap them on. If u don't know where to get a hid kit for the cobalt Lmk. I have a few resources .

well seeing how i am only finding 5k for the HID's(headlights) i am most likely going to go with 5k VLED switch backs, and maybe 5k fogs, i might go with the yellow tinted ones though...
