HID Foglight effectiveness?
I am getting my OEM fog's retrofitted. The question now is, stick with Halogen or go HID?
My primary concern is how effective HID actually is in foul weather.
Does that much light out in rain or snow impair the drivers ability to see?
Will on coming traffic or anybody in front of you have problems seeing as a result?
Will running Halogen Fog's even be effective if your already running HID's for your low-beams?

If you get 3k HID bulbs in the fog lights I think it's great. I love mine. Way better than stock was for visibility in the fog. With just the 6k HID head lights it's worse than stock because the fog is lit up but the yellow fogs help see through it.
