I've tried searching and reading, just getting more confused. LoL
If one wanted to do a full upgrade on fog/lo/high to something matching the DRLs, what is a good combination? I know that there will be huge differences of opinion, that's probably why there is no go-to "this is what you should get" chart. But I have a few questions on the specifics...
For fogs in particular, I've seen a lot of pictures here that look like they are casting a hella-glare out there. I get that enough from others coming the other way, I don't want to add to it. I thought I would just get the official Honda LED foglight kit 08V31-TBA-100H but it says that it is not compatible with the 2019 Civic Hatch EX w/Honda Sensing. I'd think those are projection housings for the LED bulbs, but could be wrong on that... In another thread, someone pointed out that it depends on the placement of the LEDs on the bulb, the thinner and closer to halogen placement it is, the less chance of a problem...
These are slim, would they fit for all three positions (fog/L/H) and closely emulate halogen pattern?

Or do you need to spend the extra money for non-glare fogs?

Or can you get just the projector housings for a 2019 Civic Hatch EX to make it more of an "official" upgrade? The instructions for the 08V31-TBA-100CH do mention that if you have fog lights already, you should use 08V31-TBA-100H which appears to have just new housings, so maybe that is why it is listed as "incompatible"? But even that lists as incompatible with the 2019 Hatch.
Maybe I'll just stick with the H9 upgrades and call it a day. LoL But I'd like that white or even white+blue that matches the DRLs.
