[s-cars] Fog light HID upgrade?

[Robert Myers]

JC,

I agree that E-code lights are great and that adding the HID 
conversion for the low beams is just super.  My question was 
concerning doing a similar HID conversion on the fog lights.  Has 
anyone done this on the fogs and, if so, were they willing to provide 
a review?  Does the fog light conversion make as much difference as 
the low beam conversion does?
