In my opinion, that would look terrible.

Try finding a set of SSS projectors first before you buy HID fogs!

Good idea!

I installed my 3000k fogs last weekend and mounted them in the same spot Archie did. I used a self tapping screw as well though to keep them in place on that plastic. It turned out great!

installed it last night... biggest part of the job is taking the bumper off... otherwise all easy.. i went with the 4300K and they are bright and look good... they are slightly bluer than the factory hids on top... anyone replace the stock hid's with aftermarket 4300k bulbs??? anyone know if you can just replace the HID bulbs without messing with the factory ballasts???

Can you post some pics of your 3000k HIDs? Did your HID bulbs have yellow ion tint on them?

I'm looking to replace my stocks with some Philips, And I do not think that there is going to be a problem with the connections to the ballast. I think there all the same connections.

Somebody post up 3000k hid fogs!! That ballast in the picture is pretty small and thin. I'll prob go with 3000k 55watt hid with the fogs. Or tint the lense yellow and get 4300k hids
