my 02 silverado doesnt have fog lights so i was about to order some aftermarket fog lights: (
http://stores.channeladvisor.com/DoctorAutoParts/Items/Item.aspx?itemid=9321438 ) which are the same as the OEM fog lights but i want to install HID's into the fog light and since this fog light housing is made out of plastic, i was concerned that the heat from the HID bulb will melt the fog light lense and housing. does anybody have any info on this?

It shouldn't put out much more heat than normal bulbs.

Many HAVE melted their housing with HIDs. It is an issue with the newTahoe plastic housing.

I bought mine from here:
http://automotivelightstore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=184 Theses HID are more efficient than halogen and run cooler than the stock bulbs even though they are xenon. Had mine in for 9 moths no problems with melting at all.
Also had the Halos installed:
