Thinking about buying some HIDs for my foglights

Just wondering how easy it is to install it. Where do you mount the ballasts? Any modifications needed? Pros and Cons?

I had to:
1) Cut a large slit in the black screw-on cover to run the wires through
2) Drill a .5" hole in the inner metal shield for the HID bulb to fit through (otherwise it prevents the bulb from going all the way into the housing)

Mount the ballasts on the frame behind the bumper/fogs area. Get on your back under the car and find a spot.
Make sure you silicone the hell out of the black cover that you cut so you prevent water leaking in. Also, make sure the metal clip is fastened securely, don't need that popping off.
I taped up all the ballast wires together and made sure they were not too low so they stay nice and dry.

I thought you already got HIDs for your fogs. No?
