If your going to be doing blue angelbrights 2.0, what fogs and kelvin would you guys recommend if you want them to be just as blue?

Where do you live that you're going to go with Blue? Are you concerned about getting hassled by the cops? Shoot HOEN an email. They're very responsive and can tell you which bulbs are the bluest that they carry.

quick question..is 70w for foglights too high? i believe i read some where that 55ws is recommanded?

I believe 55W is the OEM rating. I've used 80W in the MDX before and ran it that way for a few months, using the foglights all the time at night with no problems. HOWEVER, I've heard of stories where people have used high wattage bulbs and have had their foglight housing melted.... :'( Just not sure which wattage they used.
