Default HIDs or LEDs? Trans Am Fog Lights

hi all, I’ve been debating on whether I should do HIDs or LEDs in my fog lights. In the future I’m probably going to do the LMC Truck headlight conversion for the low and high beams with HIDs from DDMtuning. I’ve bought LED low beams from amazon for my beater and I’m pretty happy with them they are bright and look cool. So what do you think I should do for the fogs HID or LED plug and play?

Damn all your lights look great. Do you have a link for what you got for fogs, signals, and low/high beams. All LED too?

LEDs are okay. Silver Star halogens give led look without the glare.

Hids in fogs are useless.

He does a good job. Only thing that sucks is there is no protection for the projectors

those might be Acme brand projectors. He advertised them for $300. And when I asked him what projectors he uses, he said Acme but can do others just depends how much you want to spend.

There are multiple ACME Projectors. Its not a "real" brand name anyway. The Retrofit Source labeled some of their lower/generic stock ACME, but there are still multiple kinds.
