Default Foglight HID

Can you fit 6000K HID lights with the H10 bulb inside the stock foglight housing on an 05 f150(the one with the rectangle foglights). I just did my headlights with the 6000K and black housing? Also, if you have done this, could you send me a link to the foglight bulb and ballast kit? Thanks.

I did with 5000k idk if its cause I got a 6" lift with 35" tires. But I def can't drive with them on. Since stock fog lights arnt projectors they are crazy bright and light up the entire place, makes my low beams obsolete.

Ill try to get a picture, but if you pull out your headlights right there on the backside of where the headlight will be sitting up against there's a support bar I just zipped tied all 3 ballast to it (low, high, fog)

Why would I not want to get the 6000k? I would like them to match my headlights and think it wont be too bad down here in South Florida. Will the H10 bulb fit in the stock housing and will the ballasts be easy to put somewhere?
