ran those lights almost since the day i bought my xB. then i got hids in the headlights and could hardly tell i had the fogs anymore. but they do work well, fyi, if you do alot of highway driving, be prepared to buy more sets of the fogs, little rocks and sand will shatter the lenses very easily. i replace both sides probably 3 times

As for shattering, I had the same problem. But after the third time of them shattering, I swithed to the clear glass(because they were out of the ones posted) and I didnt have anymore problems.

i only found out about this after browsing SL, and was like wow these look better than the oem fogs
Big-Kokujin (http://www.scikotics.com/forums/member.php?u=1574) since u changed the glass piece is the light still yellowish or is it just white light now?

well I had some "rainbow blue" bulbs in them, but they will probably be white, because the bulb is a regular clear glass bulb.

they look niiice!

And you could buy a rubberized clear coat and hit the glass with that so they stop breaking. We have lights where I work that have a rubberized coating on them. I know they have clear rhino lining now, maybe throw some of that on there.
