BEB,

I set the car up for fog on last year's rally to Santa Cruz. The headlights are HIDs. They only draw 35 Watts, but put out an amazing amount of light. Much more than 100 watt halogens. Since my HIDs are low beam only, I use the spots for high beams. They each have a 140 Watt halogen bulb. The fogs are runing 100 Watt halogen bulbs.

I tried the Xenon bulbs. They are just cheap replicas of real High Intensity Discharge lights. The blue color is not better than white halogens. If you want a color, go with yellow, it really helps in misty or foggy conditions.

One of the guys I rally with, has rainbow color headlights in his Subaru WRX. Sometimes they look red or pink or blue. It's eye catching but odd. He says that the light looks normal from the driver's seat.

On a recent rally, one driver came up and complimented me on the HID lights. He said when I came up behind him, the road just lit up like daylight. He turned his headlights off because they didn't make any difference. I believe that the combination of the super bright HID bulbs and the large 7" round reflectors is a great combination.
