Default HID Conversion on S2K High Beams and adding Fog Lights

Did a search to find out but came up empty so I'll ask the question; Has anyone used a HID conversion kit on the S2K high beams? From looking at them, unlike the main lights, they appear to be halogen. Our high beams don't really do much on the occassions I've used them and was wondering if this would do anything to brighten them up a bit.

I've seen various kits for sale that are reasonably priced but wanted to know if they're are any technical/electrical issues I should be aware of to rule this out. Advice would be appreciated.

Also, has anyone added foglights? Would appreciate advice on kits used and any pics of installations if anyone has them.

HID highbeems would be dangerous. Assume that you left them on and they were right in the eyes of oncoming traffic...That would blind someone for a couple of seconds. Other than that I don't know.
Just think about it. Maybe you could get a blue bulb or something, to better match the color.

As for the fog lights, I have seen the PIAAs as the best that match HID's. You can mount them in the fake vents in teh front bumper too.

At the Jacob Javits Center show a couple of months ago there was a blue S with the high beam conversion. Seemed a bit useless. I would just add some PIAA behind the grill.

And just in still fogs behind the grill or in the side faux vents. I have my fogs behind my grille.
