I actually thought the fogs in my 08 were pretty good with standard bulbs. I think hid's in the highs is overkill, but maybe when I have nothing else to do I will get a set for my highs. What K are you running?

You told me before but couldn't remember. I saw the thread on your plow lights. I have not done my plow lights yet. I would probably get 6K for my plow. I know the higher the K the less light they put out. I went with 10K on my truck for the blue color.

Yea the Nighthawks were nice but HID's are so much better you'll like them in your plow for sure lol I had 10K's in my truck to they looked cool as hell but they weren't really functional for me so I went back to the 6K's I just bought some 5K's for my S10 I guess I'll see how those work lol

I don't have any trouble seeing with the 10K's. 5K is suppose to be the brightest. If you go under 5K you start to lose light again. But 3K is suppose to be a good fog light.

I have no idea what bulb it uses. I do know that it is a dual high/low bulb and they are usually twice the cost of a single low or high bulb. It might say on the lense of the plow light what bulb it is.

You guys are further north than I am, there are so many burn bans, let alone water restrictions or even watering bans here.

The dry weather is great for mossing, but not so great for our cranberries that need to be watered every day.
