Hey guys

Having never driven a HID equipped vehicle before and considering Sydney's
current plaque of wet weather ...

This question applies to Euro Luxury owners or people with conversion kits.

How do the HID compare against conventional halogens in the rain ?
Can you actually see the lane markings or is all a big gamble ?

Hopefully this bout of rain will be gone by the time i pick up my car, as you
can tell i have a phobia of driving in wet weather :o

HID headlights does not have great visibility in the rain or foggy condition, that's why there must have a driving light or fog light of some sort, the fog light must be yellowish

People who changing their headlights to HID without foglights or having HID and change their foglight to white/blueish colour is asking for trouble in the rain.
