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.

Camaro owners might be able to use their fogs. Aren't they projectors? Or at least look like them?

they are projectors, but the bulbs com in from the bottom, and there is very little clearance. i dont think that a hid style bulb would fit without some kind of modification.

Okay, cancel that idea. You are correct HID capsules are definitely longer than a stock bulbs. At least my hawk headlights and Camaro's capsules are.
