Fog light H.I.D's how to?

i drive with with my fogs on during day and night, but hey are burning out too fast and create too much heat. I'm using 100watt Nokya 11h's They are bright and have a nice pure white look. I would love to run HID's with 4100k DS1's or DS2's (I forget which ones are for projectors)
Has anyone done this swap? Is there room to fit everything? If so what is the best kit?

i recall someone took a BMW 5 series ballast and projector to do their fogs... that said, i can't quite recall who or when that person did it

if you got factory fogs, then a HID retrofit kit is good enough isnt it? if no, then look at Hella's Micro DE Xenon kithttp://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...o_de_xenon.jsp

if u dont want to spend to much just get a plug and play HID kit fogs are pointed down anyways, using a projector wouldnt help in this case because your not worried about a cutoff or glare

while they may be aimed downwards, this does not prevent the cheap plug n play kits form glaring or creating hot spots in the pattern.
