Default Just did HID fog upgrade pictures inside

So my '02 turned 54K miles I decided to buy her a present
Sorry about the pictures, I forgot my camera and had to use my cell phone.

I bought Hella HID knocks off kit from a AudiWorld member, the price was really good to pass and I always wanted fogs to match the low beams.

1. Pull the Fog light grill, it is really easy and will pop out right away.

2. Unscrew the Fog light using Torx, there are 3 screws holding it in place.

3. Remove the H7 halogen bulb and install the H7 HID.

4. Now the fun part. You have to drill the fog light cover. I used small drill bit and then using utility knife and small file to smooth the hole.

5. Run the wires thru the hole and install the rubber "plug" (I didn't take picture, but you have to connect the wires to the connector that connect the halogen H7 with the wires provided with the HID kit, depend on the kit those wires might come or might not).

6. Install the fog light back to the bumper, run the wires and connect them to the ballast. To secure the ballast I used double tape and looks to be holding really strong. I will leave it for now, if get loose I will have to come up with something else.

<img src="http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/687/img00032tq3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" />

7. Reinstall the fog light grill back on (it is good idea to test if what you did is actually working), repeat the same procedure for the other fog light.

I took picture with the light on, but somehow the fog lights look yellowish, I will take picture at night to show the result.

OK guys my English sucks but picture worth 1000 words, I hope that install will help someone else.
