Fog Lights with HID's

I know this may have been asked numerous times but would it be possible to put HID's on your fog lights. I've had them before with my pervious car and they where freakin sweet and bright. My 8 already has the factory HID's so no worries there my questions are:

1. Do I need a relay kit for putting HID's on my fogs?
2. Will they fit just right or do I need to modify the fog lamps?
3. What's your advice for putting them on? Is their a place on the bumper to store the ballast?

No

You'll need to remove the metal reflectors inside the fog light.

3. What's your advice for putting them on? Is their a place on the bumper to store the ballast?
You can attach them above the oil cooler assembly behind the bumper.

Search there's an entire thread dedicated to this.

Thanks man, Well I decided to go with LED bulbs instead from VLED.com. Can't wait to see what they will look on my 8

Don't mean to bump this but I think I'm gonna go with HID's, those VLED's are a pain to install and they look like crap on my fogs bending those black covers. Any advice on how to get around this without removing the front bumper?
