As stated in earlier post, I did install HIDs in my fogs, as have many others on here. The bulb fits in the projector housing with no issues. Only thing you will have to do is cut a hole in the back of the foglight housing (part that you remove to change the bulb) to allow the wires for the HID bulb to run thru it. The wires come with a gasket, so drill the hole the same size as the gasket and it pops right in.
Use "Search" function on here for "HID fog" - you will find plenty of info.
Good luck!

if they ARE OEM then i noticed that some of you did HIDs.when you did, was changing the wiring harness required.sounds like a dumb question but i noticed that only one of my fogs work.i took apart the one that does work and found that the harness is a 2 pin connector.when i went to the side that didn't work that connector wasn't there at all.instead, i found this
Hybrid Mode
