Ok so... here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370350305455&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT) is the fog lights I bought off eBay... so you can get a good look at how the brackets on them are. As you can see there's no way to make those brackets fit. So I took the plugs out and started a retrofit. I used a dremel to make a hole in them, removed the brackets that came with the fog lights, and replaced them with 2 L shaped brackets as you'll see in the picture. This allows me to be able to aim vertically as necessary. I also made the hole in the plug a bit bigger top to bottom to allow just enough room for aiming.
Update: I finished dremeling the other plug, cleaned them up a bit so they were smoothed out, got both of them mounted and ran the relay harness. When the moment of truth came to light them up, the little LED on the toggle switch was burnt out, I thought maybe the fogs weren't working but I went around the front and they were. Ain't that a bitch?!?! So after I went and exchanged the toggle switch and installed it, below are the pics of the finished product. Both HID kits are 6000k and match quite nicely in real life, just don't show up so well on the camera. Between the both, they definitely light up the road and turn some heads.
