Many have done mate. Just as easy as normal hid conversionn:)

You think?

I thought mine was a complete PITA! Had to bodge them in with tape hah and take the bumper off to do it (twin tone horn gets in the way and blocks the only entrance!)

Looks cool though

I've got them too. You need to dismantle the fog light and cut a wee cap out the inside (otherwise the bulb hits it) Apart from that, its pretty straightforward

What this guy said. I have them, was a bit of a bitch to do (using needle nose pliers to get the inner bit out etc) but after that its easy and they look awesome - See my avatar pic ;)

I split the glass from the plastic backing, save messing about with needle nose pliers. You have to be careful though as you could break the glass if you don;t know what your doing

Does this give any benefit at all (unless your a die hard who has his fogs on all the time)
I cant remember the last time I needed to have my fog lights on

Not really, purely for looks. Saying that, I use mine when I use my full beam. It gives you a wider view of the road :)

Thats the reason behind my logic as I drive a lot of narrow country roads etc and just think t might improve visibility plus it looks much better aswell :)

Just please dont have them on in populated areas or when its not foggy (i use mine when its foggy and when im on country roads at night)

Looks cool having them on all the time, but you also look a bit of a douche.

I couldnt be arsed to change to dip and then reach down and put off fogs when I met someone, and bet if your not quick enough you'll end up blinding them.
All fogs seem to do for me is light up the verge 3 foot in front of the car and thats it.
I dont seem to get te extra 20bhp some people seem to think they get with them on all the time ;)

Yeah to be honest that isn't really a problem 'cos you can see people coming from their light beam coming round a corner or over a hill before they get there :p

But as vrrmtshhh said, its more for looks in pics etc! :lol:
