I have a hid kit from sharphid.com in both my fogs and headlights and it makes it look like day out. mine are both 8000k, only downside is in traffic I can't really drive with the fogs because they are not an aimed beam like headlights so they blind on coming traffic horribly.

Did you take a look???? OEM reflector is every bit as adjustable as the headlights.

Here is another option if you want to use them for fogs.
When I was gearing up for a trip out West back in 2010 knowing I would be in higher elevations and maybe some snow, I decided I wanted to try these. Here in Arkansas I drive lots in the Ozark and Ouachita Mtns. and get into fog along the rivers.
I went with the Racing Labs site. I found the bulbs cheaper elsewhere but these guys had a deal with the pig tails and shipping so it came out a little better.
I think I would rather be on the safe side with the higher wattage and heat build up possible.
NOKYA Hyper Yellow Light Bulbs (H10/9145)|NOKYA JDM Yellow Light Bulb|NOKYA Pro-Halogen Light Bulbs
I got the H10 Nokya 2500 K 45W Nokya part 7626 and the H10 pigtail. They come in a nice hard case that I stored my stock bulbs in. $45.90 total.
Stocks were 37w so a bit more plus yellow tint to cut moisture glare.

I have also upgraded the headlamps to Silverstars.

I didn't say thy weren't adjustable, I said they're not an aimed beam, meaning they don't focus the light, so they throw light in a wide fan of direction, including at on comming traffic. There is no way to adjust them down far enough to prevent this with an hid bulb,especially with the torque bars cranked.
