Here's a pic of my PIAA's. They were like $300, but they light up the road better than my headlights do. Plus, you can switch between the bright fog lights, and an amber fog light depending on if its foggy or not.

first off let me say your car looks awesome. i have seen those before and i wonder which would give me more lighting distance a pair of fogs like those, some driving lights(the small round lamps), or some HID fogs from LED gauges. how far ahead can you see using those lights?

As for an actual distance, I don't know. However, I can say that they go farther than the headlights project. Plus its a white clear light, unlike the yellow dim light the stock ones put out. This being said, the HID's will certainly be bright as well, so I don't think either will disappoint you.

Nate your opinion is slightly biased . but you know what, i think im going to go with some HIDs from you guys for my 94z. we talked about this before and you said your foglight conversion would most likely fit and if not i could just return them.. pm me with a quote for HID foglights on a 94 Z.
