    Hi guys,

    Currently running the Morimoto XB LED fogs that are white and looking to go back to 3000k hids but I think want 35w cause I believe 55w is going to be too hot in the small fog light housing. Anyone out there running hids in their fogs?

    Thanks!

    Could Lamin-x the fogs.

    TRS sells the kits for their fogs.After using their LED fogs I won't ever use stock ones again.

    35w will be blinding enough, don't go 50w.

    The Lamin-x just kills the output and it chips easily from debrey from the road then looks like crap.

    If you want useful output then you want the fogs you already have.

    It's not that laminx kills the output, its the yellow light that produces 600 less lumens than a pure white bulb behind it.

    My TRD Sport came stock with 55w bulbs inside?? I traded them out for LEDs to match the color of my DRLs.
