Default can this be done??

I just got my vette back from the body shop (had to replace the bumper among other minor things) and I had to buy an individual projector headlamp to replace the broken one. I currently have an HID system with 8000K bulbs, but as I am waiting for my projector lamp, I was thinking of replacing the stock fog lights, using the stock fog lamps, with an HID kit. Since the fog lamps themselves are projector lamps, this should look great, right??

Here is my question...first, can this be done?

and second...what bulb type would I need to fit the fog lamps, and do they make that type of xenon HID bulb?

Thanks in advance, and here is a small pic of what my lights looked a little while back...

A post was made in the last day or so that showed a forum member replacing the stock foglights with some brighter lamps. Might want to do a search - the end result was amazing.

I have done some research but I am still trying to find out what type of bulb is in the stock fog lamp...

Is it 893, 899, H3, or something else?
