it should be the same as converting your headlights to HID

its a little different to mount the bulb but with reasoning you can do it

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 have them, its just a replacement bulb wired through the HID ballast. You have to run wires and seal with silicone or rtv. Pretty easy and it matches the low-beams.

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. -------------------- ~bloodMoney

I have full HIDs installed into my fogs and low beams, everything else on my car is LED converted. Heres a crappy pic below.
