i cant remember if they were 50 or 35 watts in my GP fogs but they heat did melt the housing down on the inside
it wasn't bad to the point it cracked but you can see the glass melting on the inside

I wouldn't put an HID bulb in a foglight housing unless it was a projector housing like that of the Bonneville GXP. I've had HID fogs in the Bonneville since I bought it with 46k (83k now), with absolutely no problems. However, non projector foglight housings do nothing but create endless amounts of ambient light that is 100% sure to **** off and blind oncoming drivers. I'd consider myself an ******* if I put HID'* in a reflector foglight housing unless it was for offroad use only. See my stickied thread in the detail and appearance section.
I would never support the installation of HID'* in a housing not meant for HID'* unless measures were taken to help prevent or alleviate the problem of blinding oncoming drivers, such as blacking out the bottom of the reflector to prevent light from shining up into peoples' eyes. Fog lights are designed to produce the same ambient light you would be trying to fight.
