Please don't just put a plug-and-play HID kit in your reflector for lights. You are only creating excessive glare for other drivers and making it harder for you to see at night.

Fog lights are intended to light up the road directly in front of the car at lower speeds in inclement weather. Running them in general at night will hurt your distance vision as the area close to the car is overly bright and will constrict your pupils.

I have projectors, just not the xenon bulbs, i also got 3k's for the fogs so they won't be that bright.
