One of my fog lights went out this weekend, noticed because of the error in the dash. So I am thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to HIDs, my buddy sells fairly cheap HID kits that are pretty good.

Now my question is will they give me an error, do they need to be coded ? I am trying to avoid any of that.

do they need to have a Canbus decoder or something similar ?

If he sells 35 watt HID kits, you will most likely need a Canbus decoder.

yea after all morning and afternoon of researching I figured it out and went ahead and ordered thru him and order separately a set of canbus error eliminators for like 10 bucks.

If the canbus error eliminators he sells consist of a power resister, those things get really hot, be careful where you mount it.

Do you guys drive with your fogs on all the time?

[550Reasons]

I do, my both front and rear fogs are on 99% while I drive my car.
I use the Angel light and the fogs during the day.

Please do not tell us that you only have your fog on when it is foggy outside

Why would you drive around with the rear fogs on, that's very annoying for the cars behind you.

Nope...don't use them at all. Lights are bright enough even in the fog

Maybe you can try driving around with the headlights off and just use the DRL at night, that would be even less glare for the on coming drivers.

Hence the reason why they don't give us rear fog lamps in America. :

My last Audi had rear fog lights. I love flashing them to those tailgaters.

No please don't.

I wont if they don't tailgate me. Drivers in the US do not keep the proper distance, if they drive like that in Europe, they would get a ticket. What really ticks me off are those drivers who tailgate me even when there is no traffic and I am already doing 20 MPH over the speed limit and I am not in the passing lane, why don't they just go around me and pass me? For those special occasions, I like to use my rear fog, if that doesn't work, I will check my brakes until it gets on their nerve.
