Question HELP! Need a DIY for Fog upgrades

I have searched all over the place and it seems the only DIY for HPA's HID fog lights is G37_6MT's at https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...rsion-kit.html

It looks like a different kit than mine (Autovision HID fogs, bought from HPA) and I've been trying to follow it but like I said, it just seems different. I just bought the kit from HPA a couple of days ago and if anyone could help with the install steps they used, that would be awesome!

Just saw it, thanks. I'm seeing several different writeups though, some involve drilling/cutting, some don't. Which did you use? Is the procedure the same for both coupes and sedans?

yeah I've seen people that say you need to drill but I did it and didn't drill at all and have had no adverse effects. Some of the other DIY's have an older model of the fog ballast and the new ones are a bit simpler.

But I'm using the HPA 8000K fog HID's and the 6000K headlights. I would assume the coupes/sedans use the same ballast but I would PM Andy @ Hpauto to make sure.
