Both my fogs are cracked and I know not to replace them with cheap glass. Anyone try these out? I am curious about installation and if HID bulbs will fit.

Don't get em. They are generic. My brother bought them thinking that they'd fit in the foglight holes on his Galant. They didn't. The 1s posted above will do.

Or find a junkyard in NYC that you can get some OEM fogs from.

Check this out, they're like a Maxima warehouse:

-Call them up and see if they have fogs.
