That's what I went with as well when I had them. I had 6000k 35w from DDMTuning.

Im not going to wire them through the BCM.
I have a toggle switch for them that I will use.
I wouldn't use HIDs in the fog lighs but instead I am thinking about using white LED strip inside the fog light hole in a circle around the light itself and it will be low on heat(as someone mentioned) too considering I wont have to get any crazy expensive lights and it will still make the car look a bit more up to date.

Yeah I would use a toggle switch too. You may want to use an led a bulb. It would probably look better than a led strip.

I was actually going to have both.
Going to have the LEDs in a circle around the foglight on the inside of the hole for them.
LEDs are cheap enough and easy to hook up, if it looks bad ill just take them off.

I just have standard Halogen bulbs. I have 6000k HIDs in my high beams just because I can't see well at night. Aimed properly of course.

If you just do a ring around the fog light you're not going to have any output. HIDs are your best bet for output. If you're just going for color, look into some 880 bulbs, but make sure they're small enough to fit in the housing.

Thanks for the tip dude.

I may be a kid in a candy store on payday this friday.
