    Default HIDs but also have fog lights

    I have Fog lights on my 07 TC and I am interested in getting a HID kit. Do I need to get hids for the fog lights too or do they just become obsolete? Also when putting in the HID kit how long would it take to replace the stock parts with the HID kit parts? Is it a simple bulb swap or do I have to remove the entire light chasis, and how hard is it for a guy without much experience in it?

    Simple bulb swap and install of the ballast (x2) and possible power relay. Your OEM fogs will look yellowish compared to a HID. It wont be all that bad, but the fogs will yellow out the pure color of the HID, thusly, negating the advantages of pure color for visibility. If you do find this to be true on your setup, I would love to buy your OEM fog setup (including the grille) from you.

    Default Replacing Broken Fog Lamps

    Both of the fog lenses have broken, and I have bought replacement lense assemblies. How do you get the old lense out? There is a side to side adjustment screw on the bottom, but not sure how to get the old ones out.

    Hmm, I am not sure. TRD Sparks posts this install guide on their website that does have some info on this. You can also contact Ken at TRD Sparks and he will help you out more if need be.
