    You are correct. The bulbs will be different. Not sure what size the headlight or fogs are.

    if you want true fogs you will stay away from HID.
    True fogs are yellow in color and cast a shot wide beam. Prixs have driving lights

    You need to get a turbo on there first! But yeah you would need another kit. Too much money IMO.

    You are correct. Now some have said that their stock housings melted with HIDs. You may want to upgrade to better fog lights and if you want you can put an HID kit in them.

    The turbo is just something we talked about before. I would personally just get some nice Silverstar bulbs and put them in. Just have the HIDS in the headlights.

    No, you can put HID's into your stock capsules. The Ultimate HID Thread (stickied at the top of this section) has a lot of good information.

    've never heard of HID's melting the stock headlight housings. Some of them can melt the stock foglight housings, though (I believe it has to do with the HID bulb being too big).

    IMO, I'd recommend getting aftermarket foglights (low, wide beam) or driving lights (spotlight/high beam) over putting HID's into your stock foglights. A good aftermarket light will have a much better beam pattern than the stock foglights. If you need more light than that, you can always put HID's into the aftermarket light.

    Good foglights:
    Autopia foglights from eBay. I have these, and I'm very pleased with them. They can be ordered with or without a 7 color LED ring.

    Good driving lamps:
    Cyberwhites. Easily identifyable by their blue-tented lens. A lot of people have recommended these. Available at Wal-Mart and many auto parts stores.
    Hella Angel Eyes. White LED ring, if that's your thing.

    Any aftermarket foglight will require some modification, which usually involves drilling a couple of holes into your stock bracket or bending your stock bracket. You can usually (depending on how you modify the bracket) go back to stock if you ever need to.
