Anyone do HID fogs in 2011 coupe?

Picked up an HID fog kit for my new 2011 coupe and trying to find how to do it, but haven't come across anything. Has anyone done this before/know how to do it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I just bought a kit as well, I will let you know how it goes when I get it installed. It should be straight forward. I have done them in the past on other cars. Just attach and go pretty much. There should be instructions with the kit as well.

I would suggest doing it from under the car though. you shouldn't need to take off the front bumper. Just take off the skid plate underneath.

I have a 2010 sedan with Hid Fogs. I removed the skid plate underneath the car to access the fog light housing. Once removed the drives side was a piece of cake however the passenger side was a P.I.T.A. because the washer fluid reservoir is right behind the passenger fog light giving you little room to access the fog light unless you remove the reservoir.

Danny...I told you I will install them as soon as I'm back in town. Patience is a virtue.

i have 6k hid fogs (h8). the install wasn't too bad...but i took the entire bumper off to just make the entire process less of a hassle for placement of the ballast; mine was plug and play.

On the Drivers side yeah but on the passenger side the the washer fluid reservoir is in the way. You would have to remove it.(At least that how it is on the Sedan)

Access can be had through the inner fender liner. Here's an overview of access to the headlight housing from my sedan and the same steps work with the '08+ coupe:

You should be able to access the fogs on the 2011 going through the fender but would like someone to validate.

Additionally, I suggest using a relay for power as you may have occasional issues with ballasts not turning on if you don't.
