Here are pics of my PIAAs. They're driving lights, but fog lights will look the same.

That is correct but if you like to use them for day time running lights they will eventually wear out.

Thats a relief.

Although I suppose I have less to worry about, what with the DRL operation of my Canadian-spec S2K. With the headlamps in the OFF position, the high-beams are about 20% lit, always.

If I did need to rely on fogs burning in the day for better visibility, I think I'd still rather replace a HID than cut into my S2K -- that is, until there are factory fogs.

Take a look at S2WOOOW's driving lights install: http://www.s2000online.com/forums/showthre...p?threadid=2970 Very nice job, and they look good too.

I'm considering getting Raybrig Type 200 HID Assist lights (which are $895) for installing at the top of the grill, each side. They look really sharp - but pretty expensive. On the other hand I may just go for the Raybrig R1000's which are (only) $220, but you can sometimes get them cheaper on ebay. These are dual spot and fog lights, but look like one unit. Raybrig lights are excellent quality, and expensive, but it's also hard to find local outlets that sell them.

I don't know who makes these, but they look kinda nice. By the way they're shaped, I'm guessing they can be installed without cutting the grill.
