Do the HID's in the headlights then save up to do the HID's in the fogs. You can buy yellow bulbs as a temp solution but it is up to you. I would just save.

I have 6000K HID in the headlights and bluebat's overlays on the fogs.

The problem with yellow bulbs is wattage. Both Luminics and Nokya have burned the stock harness so I decided against them. The overlays are good, but I'll probably look into getting 2500K HID eventually.

Hello mrfuzzy4,

I went HIDS in my headlights and yellow Rockblockers over my fogs.
Also put in Sylvania Ultra SilversStars bulbs. Not cheap about
$50 a pair. But, cheaper than a 2nd set of HIDS for your fogs.
Or just the overlays if you just want the yellow look but, not higher
light output.
Also IF you go with HIDS in your fogs than it requires 2 more ballasts.
So 4 in all, if you do HIDS in Headlights and Fogs.

I will Post pics after a few more mods Next year.

Yea, how did you open them? I know there's a screw on the side, but they still looks super sealed.

go with a set of luminics if you want them fogs... they are a great company and do just as good if not better than silverstars and theyre cheaper too!

Had the jdm yellow in my civic before i traded it... loved them, extremely bright!

edit: just noticed luminics burned the harness... which is extremely surprising to me. Never heard one issue what so ever with them... but maybe the fog wire harness is really weak...
