HID Fogs
Well I installed a set of H3 3k HID's in my 2001's fogs to no avail. I'm getting 12v to the ballast, but obviously no light. Do you guys have any pics or a walkthrough of how you've done this? I saw one for the 2002-2003, but the ground wire seems a little different. Mine seem grounded inside the housing. Thanks in advance.

If they are wired like the headlamps, you need to reverse the polarity. So the harness plugging into the ballast needs to be swapped around, - on the harness to + on the ballast, etc.
