Default HIDs in the fogs?

Can anyone who has put HIDs in the fogs comment on this?

Do you find that the HIDs in the fogs to help light the road significantly? Do you tend to get flashed by other drivers when you have them on?

I'm torn between using Silverstar Ultras or HIDs. I will likely be putting HIDs in the low beams and Ultras in the high beams.

I run 8K HID's, LO/HI/Fog. Dramatic improvement over stock. Set to allow fogs with highs if required.

The 6K HIDs from HIDExtra are pretty much white light, right? No yellow and not that bluish/purple color from some Audis?

Is there a write-up anywhere about how to install the HIDs in the lows and fogs? Are they just plug and play or do you have to mess with running wiring harnesses and stuff like that?
