I just put HIDs in my fogs last night. I have been running 4300k HIDs in my lows for a little of a year now. I bought 4300k slim-ballast HIDs and the ballast made the color of the 4300k bulbs bluer than the regular ballasts I had in my lows. I swapped out the 4300k bulbs in my lows for some 5000k bulbs and they matched up pretty well (I tried swapping bulbs to see if it was the bulbs - it's def the ballast changing the color). Something to keep in mind when doing this. I'm not a big fan of the blue tint to the 5000k bulbs.. I like the pure white of the 4300k but I'd rather be uniform and consistent then be running blue-ish fogs on white lights.
Also... I noticed that the output of the HIDs in the fog light it's pretty crappy... even after aiming them pretty well. The beam pattern just doesn't seem to work with the stock housing.. kind of disappointing.
