Has Anyone attempted a Fog light/HID install on a 01-02 Acura CL???

Just wondering if anyone tried putting HID's into their stock CL fog lights? If anyone has any information on the subject please email me ASAP i am looking to do the conversion but cant find what bulb it would take or if it would even work... Thanks for the help.

Yeah i got the PIAA bulbs already and they are melting the housing. HID's burn at a lower temp then regular bulbs do so i dunno how they would melt the housing??? THE piaa's are my problems and they are starting to fuck up the housing on the roadlamps

HID's burn at a lower temp than your standard HALOGEN HEADLIGHT. not a 194 wedge bulb.

Wow the piaa melted the housing for you?! I have not had that happen, not even melt the rockblock tint on it. I wish there was a way we could get the HID fogs but it doesnt look like its gonna happen

I'm looking at these for a future mod, I will have to remove vents on my '03. '01 and '02 can remove the lights altogether, they have their own housing.
