yes... i would suggest getting 35w hid though... small space adn too much heat will ruin the bulbs or housing or both

They seem to look ok but I'd be concerned about the quality of the lights

^ What he said.

I'd make sure the beam pattern is up to standard before installing HID's. Also the quality of the plastic. HID's get decently hot so if the plastic isn't high grade quality I'd imagine they would be melted.

Yeah the lights do look pretty puny. I think I'll wait for OEM fogs.
