HID foglight kit?
Hey guys, have any of you seen a HID driving light kit installed in place of the factory 02' fog lights? I want to upgrade to HID's and I was just wondering if this was feasable. Either adding an HID bulb kit to the factory fog light or replacing the entire assembly would be nice.
Thanks
Thanks

Look here too...
Try looking at proxenon.com , they have a good selection and their kits are under 400. They may have the bulb size you are looking to retrofit the stock fog bulbs with HID and if they do go to e-bay to purchase them . There they have auctions for kits that won't be what you're looking for but don't pay any attention since you can get any bulb size kit with any of their auctions and sometimes pay no shipping.
I ordered a headlight kit , quality is great and driving with them is fantastic.Fog lights would definitely be nice!

A better explanation.
Sorry to be so vague!
I looked over their auctions on E-bay and noticed that even though they were auctioning a kit for an H-3 or 9004 towards the middle of every page they said to contact them for the correct fitment or bulb type.So I gave it a try and "bid now" on a kit they were offering with a special no shipping deal attached . At the check out process they give you a form to fill out for your order and in that is where you write in your bulb type.They are a direct from manufacturer shipping agent and if I am not mistaken have no stock so they order what you order from the manufacturer.
As for the free shipping , as I mentioned that was part of that particular offering , they may never do it again.
Just go back into the auctions and look for them if you find one with no shipping or a price that decidedly beats their web site price they must honor it.
Their kits look like the Mc Culloch kits , have very nice wiring and pretty compact ballasts .You will need to supply the sticky tape , but other than that its very nice.FYI , the prices on these kits are coming down because they are starting to offer the HI/LOW kits for 9007 , but I never used high beams for driving and I can still flash traffic if necessary with my fogs when my lights are on.I also do not see any need for high beams now , the light cast by HID's is so crisp.I am also using stock housings so I can just imagine how much more concentrated the beam pattern would be in an quality after market projector housing.

hid conversion
I just went to e-bay and typed in "hid conversion" and Proxenon's Bohmen kits are the first three to pop up.
The first one i saw was for$325! I paid $356 and thought I got a bargain!
Good luck
