   Hi guys, I have a set of H1 hid lights, they don't fit in my angel eyes so I thought of putting them into my fogs, the only problem is, is that there isn't anywhere for the bulb to sit properly, as it doesn't sit in the original fittings.
   
   Also I am not too sure where to put the Ballasts as there isn't much room around the bumper and I don't want them getting damaged.
   
   Has anyone put these in there fogs before? Is there a guide or anything?
   
   Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

   Quite a few people do it, you have to cut a hole in lights etc.. imo its not worth the effort

   Is there a guide at all, they are just sitting in my house so I figured I may aswell put them in the fogs rather than let them go to waste.

   Not this tosh again, like the 8th time in the last month this has been asked
   
   waste of time
   stupid
   useless
   look a c*nt
   the list goes on
   
   your car tho, do it if you wanna look a mug with ya fogs on all day, and enjoy the £30 fine when you drive passed plod
   
   for the 4 days a year we actually get fog viable enough to use fog lights, it probably just a good idea to stay home..
   
   not a personal dig, just annoys me when people drive round with their fogs on all day, i mean.. just because it adds 5bhp, doesnt mean its worth distracting other road users

    Woahhhh there, I didn't know men had periods, calm down.
    
    I don't drive round 'like a cunt' with my fogs on all day' so the 'Plod can fine me'
    
    The main reason I want them in there is because there sitting there doing nothing, hence the reason they may aswell go in there rather than sit in the cupboard.
