I just go with the el-cheapo Pilot lamps. They look good if they're installed correctly, work perfectly, and you won't be quite so ticked when the inevitable stone cracks one of em.

Fog lights are for ricers, save the cash and get some HID..... well worth the extra cash..

Well that's one opinion. Someone else might say swapping to HIDs would just be BMVue envy. lol or GMC Jimmy envy...if that's even possible.

A nice properly set of driving lamps looks good and produces usable light. If they're aimed properly they do not annoy other drivers.

i've had the xsl and now have the xlo. xsl are better for side light where as the xlo puts the light out in front. I prefer the xlo. I also have philips hid kit and if you do a lot of night driving, they are well worth the money.

Go with PIAA 1100x Platinum Series Fog Lights... They are really bright and great for visability... If they are aimed properly, they don't blind other drivers

I've tried and tried to justify the cost of pricey fogs, but I just can't. You get nice ones and someone tries to steal them or you don't put up a screen capable of stopping a howitzer round and one gets cracked. Plus there just isn't enough difference to justify the cost in my mind. If I had an unlimited budget I'd be all over the high end fogs & HID conversions.

My buddy has some small square PIAA's on his hatch, they are awesome in the canyons we run, very even spread of light across the area and they shine brighter than his factory headlights.

$225 is still a pretty damn high price for a set of fog lamps...hmmm i dunno if that's worth it to me at all.
SamuraiJack, nice avatar pic!

I just asked about them and saw the recept and they were 600 from the acura dealership....that includes the headlights and the full installation...which comes with a neat little button to turn them on and off with..... but yea when i got my car my parents got a deal on them so they were a little cheaper but its still expensive as all hell....

Pilot lights here. $39.95. Fabricated extension brackets...$1.75. They look great too, people compliment me on them all the time...believe me or not, it's all the same.

I have PIAA's and have been very happy w/ them.. I even had a rock fly up and shatter one of the lenses... I contacted PIAA and got a new lens shipped to me for FREE

the light they put out is great, and install and everything went smooth... you must mount them well or else thieves will yank them quick though thats the only downside (other than that their pretty expensive)...
