I've had HIDs in my fogs for a while now... in both cars.
I have a very nice fog light HID kit for sale in the classifieds. It is barely used. It is plug and play. Very easy install, should take 30min tops. Will ship it anywhere in the US for $160. Kit cost me $225 plus shipping.
No thanks... I already have a set...

Im getting the idea though, that you mean projector HID's...Are you talking about retrofitting a projector into the fog housing?
basically has neone installed a set thats not plug n play.. and if so ... how hard was it to mount the balast?Alot here have been running HID's in the fogs.

I have no idea what you're talking about it... What do you mean not plug and play? If you're going to put HIDs into the fog lights, no matter what you use, you're going to need a ballast.basically has neone installed a set thats not plug n play.. and if so ... how hard was it to mount the balast?
Your all using HID kits... like 9007 bulbs... 9006 bulbs... mine r NOT application specific... lol.. nevermind, i'll just start cuttin... I was just curious if anyone's ever made a ballast fit, not sure what the housing looks like.. im sure i'll figure it out..I have no idea what you're talking about it...

u trying to say they're universal? if they're universal i'd imagine theyd fit anything :thepan: including your cts....Your all using HID kits... like 9007 bulbs... 9006 bulbs... mine r NOT application specific...

He has a complete aftermarket set of fog hid's. that he wants to retrofit into the CTS's housing. By removing supplied brackets(his fogs) and then installing(by hackin away at the CTS's housin) to get his hid fix.

guys he's trying to make a set of XLR hids fit his fogs on his CTS. He's asking if anyone has ever either done this before or has used another set of OEM hids from a car and installed them in their CTS. He's not using an upgrade kit. I'm tanked and I can figure it out lol. To the OP, I have no advice to give sorry.
those the 8k ones?Thats where mine are from. Still going strong. Cheapest I could find on the net.
Figured id try em out ... if they r good i'll put a set in the headlamps too... I ordered all led's bulbs for everything in and on the car too...
Mine are 10000k in the lows and fogs.those the 8k ones?
