Sounds like a pretty cool project, however there was a thread a while back addressing the possibility of warping due to the added heat from the brighter bulbs. The stock housings only accommodate a wedge bulb, but I'm sure with the right materials, it could be done.

that HID kit you have is cool but i was looking for more of a gold-yellowish HID....thats why i want to get the 3000k Phillips kit....ya i heard from someone else that the lense cant take the heat...but what about getting 03 airducts and cutting a small fog into them...something like the BMW 3 series fog....the 3000k looks like this

sounds like a good plan. Tell me how it turns out in the end cause I might do it as well if it works.
