I was just looking at a set of HID fogs on a Celica this weekend. It looks like what you have to do is cut a hole in the back of the housing for the wires then seal it up with some silicone.

I've done it. The only downside to this is that if the bulbs go out, I'll need to pull off all the sealant and lay down a fresh patch.

Basically, I drilled a hole in the housing where the OEM cable came through. The hole was just barely big enough to get the HID connectors through, then I plugged it all back up with some RTV. I've had them on since December and haven't had a problem with them.
