Ive tried to install HID into the fog lights... but the housing is H11 but its a H1 bulb or vise versa... but the point is that it is very hard nearly impossible to install unless you mod the housing... has anyone with the SAP front end installed HIDs and if not what is a decent replacment..LED Bulbs???

What part didn't fit? Did it have the wrong connector shape or was it simply the bulb itself was too long or too wide?

I believe they said the connecting shape... I could be wrong it was a few months ago

That would be my guess too ... in which case it sounds like you didn't have the right bulbs.
