BiXenons in SS Fog lights
So, I really like some of the HID retrofits you guys have done. Some of them are well engineered and look bright as hell. I may do my headlights but I tried something else. I bought Morimoto BiXenon modules. I modified them to fit in the SS fog light rings. They retain up and down adjustments and "snap" into the SS front bumper, just like the factory fog lights. I wired them so they operate as follows.
1--Press the factory fog light button and the HID's will go on in "low beam"
2--Press my "Driving Light" switch on my center pod and the "High beams will be enabled, but won't go on until you push the factory high beam lever on the steering column.
Easy operation. Nice because they work just as the factory fogs with the added benefit of high beams.
You could wire them to automatically come on with the high beams but I wanted the option of not using them if I choose not to, hence the "Driving light" switch.
I went with 5000K 35 watt ballasts from Kensun. I read excellent reviews on that product and I hope to have many trouble free hours of operation.
I also put a spot of black hot glue to anchor the housings to the bumper. I felt that was necessary as these things weigh a bit more than the factory fog lights.
I have attached pictures of the modified Morimoto lights and show them side by side with the factory fog lights.
BTW. These lights are really BRIGHT. No disappointments here.
I will add the wiring diagram and pictures later tonight when it gets dark.

Sorry for the sideways pictures. I don't know how to rotate them.
