You must buy a conversion kit which has ballast and bulb.
Brand? You need to check with longtran. He has 6,000k HID fog.

I think 6,000k fog light is more blue than osram 6,000k because osram 6,000k light goes from the projector and the fog light goes directly from housing.

doesn't it look weird if one is blue and one is white

Yes, it is possible. Just take out the projector. It will be so bright! But blind other ppl.

yes, the light will be working even though taking out the projector.
But you need custom plastic holder so that the light can hold on the housing.

The projector is surrounded with black plastic that hold it. From my opinion, it is very risky if you take out the projector because high temperature xenon light, it will burn the housing. This is just my thought.

If you take out the projector, you won't have the clear cut off which makes a world of a difference IMO. Think the previous model Acura TL if you want to try to imagine what Xenon looks like without projectors.

WTF? Are we talking about taking out projectors in Xenons? Just get halogen housing and do Xenon conversion. Forget about halos then
