Small Projector Lights that really work?

Ameer,
I'm a bit confused- what the heck are you talking about?

You need to get the ballast, wiring, bulbs, bulb holders, proper
reflectors/lenses and all of the little bits and pieces in order to
have a proper Xenon light system. Are you talking about those "conversion"
kits? They don't necessarily do a great job, as the OEM reflectors and
lenses
were not designed for use w/ Xenon lighting. I think your best results will
come from doing a conversion on a car that already has projector lenses
for the low beams, of which nothing pre-'85 will have.

As for $700 lights in a $3000 car, that's what I had when I had my
euro-spec 200 lights in my 5ktq.

As for the original topic- has anyone had any experience with the Hella
Micro DE lights? I'm interested in getting an unobtrusive pair of fog
lights, especially in those rare instances when I need that extra lighting
or the fog is so bad that I have to run city lights because the low beams
don't help (very rare in my neck of the woods). I've only encountered two
instances in the past year when I really wished I had fogs (front and rear).

The Hella Rallye 4000s are about $700, IIRC. The comparable PIAAs are more
expensive.
