I would advise against it. The factory fog lamp housing is designed to use an H3 bulb with a horizontal filament. Typical HID capsules have a vertically positioned arc. Because of this, the resulting beam pattern will likely be less than optimal, which is not something you want on fog lamps (or any vehicle lighting for that matter).

i thought the fog section already had a yellow shroud over the bulb so you dont need a yellow bulb

the lights also have a yellow cap inside that a hid bulb will not fit into because it it longer
