I will definitely post up some pics. I am sure they will look great! Luckily our fog lights are a little easier to get to than Trans Am's.
EDIT: Hey OP, I see you live in Orlando which is about 2 hours from me. How long did it take you to get your kit from DDM? Did you use standard UPS Ground shipping?

the tip to making them fit on the camaros is quite simple. Completely remove both fog lights. Unscrew (not all the way, just loosen) the 4 screws around the base of the bulb. Insert the HID bulb and turn. If it won't turn still, loosen them more. Once it's in place, tighten the 4 screws back down. You're done.

yeah, that was my train of though with choosing 5000k, you see the over done blue everywhere and i wanted it clean looking. The led strip i got from this link right here, i got the 4.7 inch white for 6.99, thats all you really need, then unscrew the stock lamp set up, clip the wires, splice and attach to the led strip wires and your done, they send you a strip of 3m double sided for mounting

I just ordered the 5000k 35w for the fogs just now! I have a Firebird/Formula front bumper. I have yet to see HID Fog's on a Formula bumper either. I think I will be the first. Can't wait for them to get here. I was going back and forth between 5000k and 6000k. I want a LITTLE bit of blue, but I also want the most usable light (more important to me). Seemed like 5,000 was the way to go.

BlueBird, that looks sick! Glad to finally see them with a Formula bumper. I can't wait to get mine in! Your car is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love that color.

Just curious, those of you with HID's in your fogs but not in the high/lows - does it look awkward?
Just picked up some HID's for my fog lights and want to get the BLS setup eventually, but I'm just wondering if it's gonna drive me nuts.. LOL..

To try and answer your question, the HID fogs improved visibility for me from the driver's seat...but when I stepped out and looked at the lights, it looked kind of funny to me to have such bright fogs and dull/yellow headlights.

one question... my fog hids from ddm do not have female plugs on them to plug into the factory harness, like my low beams did. did everyone else just buy a female plug and wire it onto the light? I got 880's for mine, they came with just wires with a metal prong on each instead of a female 880 plug.
