Default HID fog conversion

i searched but couldnt find anything. has anyone converted their stock fogs with an HID kit? i know i would need to make my own harness to be able to stand up to added power. but is there anything else i should do besides buy an h7 hid conversion kit? if anyone has done it could you show me some pictures. so i can figure out if i am wasting my money.

i too am planning on doing it. I know someone on audizine has done it, may try a search there. im not positive its h7 you need. I believe it depends on the year though. i believe for the 02 its h4..but that may be just 02. I think you need to get a ballast and have a harnass someplace to hold that then your set. but im not positive.. i am going to investigate some..let me know if you find anything out.

this is what i found so far. the oem fog will need to be retrofitted to fit the bulb. it appears that only a hole for the HID wires to go through. i found this detailed diy for an a4, it is really clean. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothrea...91120#24291120

i just took apart the fog light. it would be a very similar process to the a4 diy i found. but something that i noticed is the housing for the fog is all plastic. im wondering if the added heat would melt it?
