Then they pass you and you see that it's barely lighting up the road 2 feet in front of their front bumper.

If you really want to change your fog lights, get these (obviously not the yellow chip set).

They'll be white like your HIDs (probably cooler color temp, so not exactly matching), and they'll be functional without blinding people.
Thanks for the info. Looked a little pricey at first, but considering you get the projector housing along with the LED it's probably not that bad. I also like the fact the LED is sealed inside the housing. Even though most of the LED replacement units claim to be weatherproof, I don't think any part of the LED hanging out the back of the housing is a good idea.

Since the foglight housing assy. is only shielded by some plastic splash panels I can just see steam coming out from around the light when water comes into contact with the hot LED heat sink. Not really a problem so long as you don't turn on the fogs when driving in the rain. Oh I forgot that's probably when you need them the most.
