will do, might be a while I got a clutch install I have to do before anything else! BTW I think if you go to Sylvania's website they might have info on bulb replacement in the foglights...not to sure tho.

hids in the fogs would actually be more blinding.. first the glare from the stock housings would be horrible. second of all, to get any useable light out of them, you would have to level them off, instead of being angled slightly downward like your headlights would be. the problem is, every time you hit a bump, that light is going to shine in oncoming drivers eyes. also, because the light is set in so far on the bumper, dont expect to have very good spread. only good part is there probably gonna look really good.

Yeah using the stock Fog lamp housing is pointless I put the Sylvania Siverstar in and well it didnt make any difference except a whiter look. I was dissapointed.
