    I know there is a search feature, and I've tried but there are oh so many threads concerning these subjects some going back quite a number of years and some having little to no replies so I figured I'd ask here.
    Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction or will have an answer for me.

    First; the Xenonsupply HID kit, yay or nay? From what I've seen around here there are quite a few review threads and people seem to like them.
    And if they are good - do I need to order the Relay Wiring Harness? It's listed as optional but I don't know the first thing about this stuff and I know you've all had various experiences with such things.

    Secondly; I'm looking to install yellow fog lights on my 2011.
    I know there are a number of "yellow fog light kits" like the Spyder FL-TPRI2010-Y. Are these any good?
    I know with an $80 fog kit you get what you pay for... but would it be worth it?
    Or is there a better way? I know some people mentioned buying the kit from the PC shop and installing yellow LEDs or applying a yellow film? Is it just different strokes for different folks or is there a correct way to go about doing this?

    Sorry if these questions have been asked to death.
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks in advance.

    Installing HID kits directly to your oem wiring harness is a YMMV proposition. Many people will tell you an HID relay harness isn't needed for a 35w HID kit, but some have had problems with the bulbs not starting/igniting. TRS Morimoto Elite H11 HID kit issue | PriusChat

    Get the projector foglights from PriusChat member Cheizy in the Private Sales section of the forum. They are true

    Cheers.
    I was reading through your thread a bit earlier.
    The relay is only like an additional $20 from xenon supply so it's not a huge deal. Just didn't wanna spend money I didn't need to.

    So does anyone know anything about the spyder fogs then or no?
