Default Plug & Play HID upgrade?

The auction says it requires no drilling or modification to install in OEM fog lights. Do you think this is true? Are the OEM fog lights H1 style bulbs, does it even matter?

Eric, I believe you need euro fogs for the H1 bulbs to fit. I think US fogs are H7...? I think it matters because of the size bulbs and the way it secures to the housings.

Fogs should use H1 i believe.
You will have to modify the back of fog ilght housing to accept the bulb.

Now that I think about it, b-rad is right. I was thinking about headlights.
