HID Fog light Issue

So, I was driving down the road one windy day and hit a bag of trash. No major damage, in fact only problem is my drivers fog light does not work anymore. I have 3000K HID's installed, however even though I purchased the right size bulb, I never could get them to fit perfectly in the housing. I removed the diffusers, however there were still spaces large enough to let water in (which I tried to conquer by putting Dynamat around it, but to no avail). Now my fog light housings are getting pretty yellow inside, which I hate. But anyhow, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on installation or sealing the bulb in for the future (since I now have to replace one). Thanks!

Btw, I'm new here, and any suggestions or recommendations on my car would be much appreciated. I know the pics are not that good, but if you want to, tell me what you hate/like about it. Thanks

You need to either modify the stock h1 bulb holder to accept the hid bulb or purchase an aftermarket adapter.


Fog light diffuser???

Yea the fog lights have the diffusers in them, if you remove them you get a much wider light output
