If you pay retail for these things you are cheating yourself. I did that the first time, then realized they can be had for half the price on eBay. I have bought many a set of the 9005 bulbs for the fogs for 20 bucks or less.

And once again with the HID in factory housing suggestion. Horrible idea. Everytime someone puts HIDs in halogen housings an angel loses its wings.

I cant complain. Plus they should hopefully last longer than the average year that I have been hearing due to the fact I only will have to run them when I really need them. Hopefully this helps others.
Glad you liked the results some of us predicted. The reason you're not bothering oncoming drivers is a combination of a very good beam pattern and proper aim. A "proper" fog beam (which the 2004-2005 fogs have) is a low, flat, wide beam. The only way you'll bother oncoming drivers with that kind of beam pattern is if you mount them to high on the vehicle or aim them "up" too far.
