    So I'm wanting to put in the 3000k or 6000k HIDs in my fog lights. But everyone says they melt the stock housings. I dont want the glass ones so Im looking for the plexiglass ones. Where do I find these Plexiglass fog lights? I tried to google it and nothing came up about them. Thanks

    You might be able to take the front cover off the stock housing and circle cut some plexi to fit then clear RTV seal it together again.

    3000k 35w for 7 months
    i drive an hour to work in the dark. the worst that happens is they get hot to the touch.
    but the cloudier the fogs the hotter it will get iirc
