Best Fog Lights

I have to get new fog lights because my Touring Fog Lights will not fit in my new 300C fascia. What do you guys recomend for a good set of fogs (the whole kit, not just the bulb...entire replacements) Since i didn't buy the HID lights, i just need fogs that will match my Halogens, but still a good set of fogs!
thanks a lot
Matt

kidcoastal and some others have a PIAA with a halo ring - too lazy to search for the thread, but those are great ones.

That is something that I have been meaning to do, with the HID headlights, the fogs look kind of yellowish. I'd like to match them up a bit.
Hey Kidcostal; help us out here.

You want fogs to be yellowish. In fact, ideally they'd be selective yellow, but nobody does this any more. Bluer wavelengths reflect back off the water molecules more, so you want yellow to cut through the fog and to reduce glare back. This is why in France even the headlights are selective yellow.

I went and checked those out on the Wyckoff site...but they are 110$ A PIECE! I can get the PIAA P9000's for about that much...so i am thinking i am just gonna do that...for those of you who do have the PIAA P9000's, how hard were they to install? Thanks.

Sorry, been busy for a while.. I have the PIAA P9000 in mine. The install wasnt that hard from what I could tell, I had the installer make a custom bracket so they wouldnt sit too far inside the Facia. I chose not to use the halos on mine. So I wired them straight to my factory fog switch. They do match the OEM HID lights very well.

selective yellow lights?

Nokya and PIAA as well as others sell HYERYELLOW lighting. i've found at least one brand with the right size for our fog lights and im going to order as soon as i stop lurking today.

hehe

Alright, looks like i am gonna get the PIAA P9000's. (Kidcoastal)- are they pretty much just plug and play when installing? And the halo ring....if i wanted to do those, what is the purpose? When the Halo is on, does it project any light? Or are they just for show? And how how hard is wiring this portion of the light? Thanks a lot, and i will see you in about 3 weeks to pick up the lights.

The install was easy b/c they are wired straight into the factory switch. To use the halo's, Rogue told me that you need to install the switch that came with the fogs. It has a three slot switch to (I guess) operate the halo's.
