HID's in fog lights - 12/27/2007 6:24:22 PM    02Z71silverado   Posts: 24 Joined: 12/13/2007 Status: offline my 02 silverado 1500 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. on the tahoe forum i read that this was true, that the fog light housing/lense will melt with HIDs in them....does anybody have any knowledge on this? _____________________________ - Grady 02' 1500 Z71 5.3L Post #: 1
