In winter snowy weather I drive exclusively with only fog lights (headlights disconnected) Less reflected glare and more usable light than using the standard headlights.

That is great to hear! What kind of HID conversion kit are you running? Did you replace the stock projector lens with one that was designed for HID or are you running the stock Subaru projector lens with an HID retrofit kit?

My biggest concern about going with HIDs is that I don't want to make a nuisance of myself to other drivers all in the name of vanity.

Thanks for your feedback! I feel better and better about moving to HIDs!
