HID fittment issues...

Bought these HID lights a few years back and never used them. Bought a new set of headlights for my front end swap and the bulbs I ordered are wrong so now I'm stuck til I can get the money together for new bulbs. I remembered I had these and thought about making them work, any help guys?

Afaik, there aren't any adapters available to convert that style to H13, which is what your new headlights use. You're probably stuck waiting for $ to buy new H13/9008 hid bulbs.

Also I already have everything that I need, ballast and wiring and the like. I really want to use this before I buy anything else so fog lights would be good

3000K is going to put you at a yellow color for your headlights. Are you going for white or do you want yellow?

Will they fit at all in the fog light area at all or do I need to just sell off the set and buy something made for the EX?

They won't fit correctly in the fog light location. The correct lamps (9145) have a 90° plug, and the area is pretty tight. Go for 5000K if you want pure white.
