If you have the 9140 Fogs.... Pretty sure you can swap them with 9005 HID kit (or so I've read on several other postings).

Will be able to update you when mine get here, also ordered from ddm, but they are taking a while in getting here.

Be careful, the 06-08 round style fog lights are more prone to have the lens melt than the rectangular 04-05.

hids get pretty hot comapred to regular halogen bulbs, some people have reported lenses getting melted by them. seems like smaller housings tend to have it happen more. i know a bunch of buddies that have warpped headlights on their integras from their hids. must be because of the small housing holding all that heat.

How about if you go with the 35W HIDs? Just about everywhere else, at least where I've seen, states they run cooler than the Halogen bulbs.

You would just have to pick a bulb which matched the output color of the HI/LOs.
