Beautiful! I will be doing 6000k Bulbs Ultinon Phillips and Kaixen 6000k Fog Kit Whenever I find a shop that can install them, should be beautiful!
Its not legal to put HIDs in any headlight not designed for HIDs, so you may not be able to find a shop willing to do it anyway.
There are a lot a myths around headlights for some reason, so make sure you do your research. HID Planet is a good place to start.

I would caution anyone against putting HIDs in their fog light housing. First off, you are going to need to add ballasts as well, and that can cause electrical problems without also adding a harness. Also, adding HIDs to a reflector housing not designed for HIDs is going to blind on-coming traffic in a big way.

Regarding the H1 HID not fitting, my guess is that maybe the HID bulb is longer than standards ones? When you peer into the foglight housing, you'll notice theres an integrated cap over where the bulb would come out.. (not sure if this can be easily removed)..

the OEM fogs are H1's... did you need to order a H1->9006 adapter ?

Thats hot we need more pictures, I dont think I could pull that off with my Red car, but we need to see more pictures at night and on with the Fogs and on with the Headlights?
How did you get just the City Lights to stay on, are they on 24/7 even if all the lights are off?

Who said installing the city light was a piece of cake? It took me about 30min to figuare it out on the driver side. Took me about 10 min on the passenger side once I knew how to do it. My hands are all beat up and my back aches from hunching over trying not to touch the paint of the car. Well it was worth the pain.
I went with the PIAA extreme white
Lets just hope those bulbs to jump off the attachment due to road vibration.
Drive Hard Guys!!!
