HID bulbs get incredibly hot...there is a chance you could end up melting the cases, plus the amount of glare they will cause will be unimaginable!

Guy i know did it on his polo, which has very similar fogs, and the back melted off lol

You could get some cool LED ones  :happy2:

Why would you want to put HIDs in your foglights?

Is it so you can drive around with them on all the time?  :confused:

Depends on your car, mine has H11 bulbs as standard, have a look and see what your current bulbs are as this might be the case of wrong ones for your car
