The 3000k bulb is more than enough to cut through the fog. Make sure the light beam is pointed low to the ground to help even further. The HID fog light assemblies I installed on my E46 M3 and BRZ are even stronger the headlights and easily cuts through rain and fog.

Yup, I had my car fitted with the BRZ STi exhaust. Sounds really good and helped release some low end power. Dami nang mods pero dami na ring gastos.
with regard to the rain, will my visibility be affected when i'm using HIDs?

if ever i go the HID route, what brand can you suggest to me? sa ballast, aside from philips, what else is good? basta personally i don't like to try on the ac tech ones na kaya i didn't get them agad when mike offered it to me for the fogs. i placed them on my c30 before and palagi siya nagloloko and we didn't have a solution to it until i sold it nadin that way. nagpalit na ako ng ballast and tighten connection and change bulbs, and same padin. i have nothing against the brand, i believe its a good one, but i'd rather not try it again haha nadala na ako last time sumakit sobra ulo ko doon :|

if ever i go the halogen route, i'm thinking of getting PIAA super yellows or solarzen (some cheap ass bulbs, but they lasted 3 years on my c30! ) super yellows too.
