    Hello Priuschat members:
    Currently running xenonsupply HID 43K for headlights, now looking to upgrade to H11 fogs to same brand and same Temp. Will there be any issue with flicking or anything ? Please list Pros & Cons, if knowledge. Click below link for more info on the kit.

    I'm using a 35W H11 kit on my fog lights without the relay harness... so far I haven't gotten any problems with it

    The big problem with HID in the oem reflector foglights is the oem lights don't really have any cutoff to prevent glare.

    Since the HIDs are so bright, it's like driving around with low mounted highbeams on. :mad:

    Bino has a lot of money. ;)

    I suspect these would be less $$$ than the ones Bino is getting:

    06 07 08 Toyota Aurion Camry Projector Fog Lamp Light | eBay

    07 08 09 10 11 Toyota Corolla Axio Fielder CREE LED Square Projector Fog Lights | eBay

    First link is Halogen, you may be able to mount HID in them. The thing about mounting HIDs in these small projector housings is that there is very little room for heat dissipation, so you might risk burning the reflector bowls/coatings.

    Second link is LED based, so you will be running lower wattage and running cooler than halogen or HID.
