I wanted to put HID's in my stock housings also. I know they run hotter and would melt the housings but its a drag car only for the most part and would only be on for short periods for only a few times a year.

First question that comes to mind is whether you really want fog lights for fog, or just as auxiliary lighting for when you drive.

If you are looking for real fog lights, it's not the case that popping a HID into a housing actually outperforms non-HID bulbs in a good housing. Check the lighting FAQ. You can also check out the Fog upgrade I did to Hella fogs.

If all you want are aux driving lights, then there are other options.
