The Micro DE Xenon Driving Light is the smallest DE auxiliary driving lamp from Hella. It provides surprising flexibility in terms of light placement and gives automobile designers, tuners and do-it-yourselfers a small trend setting auxiliary driving lamp ideal to pedestal mount in the grill, off the bumper, or flush-mount through the front air dam/spoiler.
The Hella Micro DE Xenon Driving Light offers the benefits from Xenon lighting technology in the smallest possible design. This auxiliary driving lamp uses a Xenon bulb mounted in an extremely small, sturdy and temperature resistant magnesium housing with a Magnesium FF reflector that virtually guarantees optimal light distribution. With high light output for more vision and additional range, the Micro DE auxiliary driving lamp shines a light color similar to daylight to help provide the greatest possible safety during night travel.
Hella auxiliary Micro DE (HID) Driving Light kit #74522 includes
Two lamps (2-5/8" H x 2-7/8" W x 5-1/2" D) with black decoration rings, D2S Xenon bulbs and ballasts, soft rubber caps, brackets, wiring harness and relay, easy-to-follow instructions.

I have heard rumors that Vette-HID (NOT-MEE) may soon have HID fogs.

hella micro DE - $99 new on ebay
3000k (deep yellow) or 4200k (stock BMW color / sunlight) bulbs and ballast - $199.
Total cost, around $330 for the complete setup. Don't expect the same amount of light though, the fogs being as low as they are cast some bad shadows due to the poor light angle.
