Anyone else considering HID foglights?

My questions are
A. What size are they?

B. Will the cornering lights be problematic with HID fog lights?

and

C. Has anyone changed out their fog lights?

I finally received and installed my fog lights today. They are not HID but bulbs in 7500k Plasma White. They now match my HID's. I chose bulbs so i do not need to worry about harnesses and error codes.

I used to have the GP Thunder but they were still very yellow. I got rid of those and got 6000K LED fog light bulbs and am much happier.

Which LEDs did you use and were there any fitment issues?

Most LED conversion bulbs are much longer than halogen bulbs and can interfere with things behind the bulb.

Got em from Amazon from SiriusLED. I still need to code the car so lights don't flicker but just been too lazy

But nope, fitment is just fine. Almost same size as the gp thunder's
