The projector you see in the pics are 887 bulb based projectors and have been widely used with hids. They put out a very nice and clean cutoff with nice disbursement.

The inner height of the fog light is about 2.49" so the 2.5" projector can be made to fit however you will not have any alignment adjustment. The best projector to use would be the Mini projectors I believe that they are 2" diameter. The projectors that I am fitting are very tight and I have already shaved them down about .5"

The HID kit I bought fit the fog. So, I should just buy a projector that uses the 9006 bulb and I will have zenon projectors. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking and bought FX-R D2S projectors; I'll find a use for that.

I thought about doing a A4 LED style and putting it in the foglights and make it even lines
Would that be nice? Anyone done that?
