    ok So im going to turn the turn signals into fog lights. I also want to convert it to a 9006 bulb. I want to make these HID as well. I currently have the 55w ddm tuning 5000k low/high beams.
    1. Will the housing support the heat from the hid bulb?
    2. What color should I choose 3000k, 4500k, or the 5000k bulbs?

    I think they are called switchback. They go from white to amber but I think they are just for looks and don't put out alot of light.
