My 2012 GT/CS came with the fog lights (H-11 bulbs) already installed under the bumper. Does anybody know if they can be converted to hid xenons with a convertion kit ? Also, will the ballasts interfere with the computer? Thanks for the answer.

Here is an H11 HID kit. I'm running Retro Solutions digital kit for my headlights and there is no interference with the computer or radio or anything. The owner, Todd is also excellent if you do run into any issues.

Can you post some pix? Especially at night. My biggest worry with after-market HID kits is glare...

Here are some pics. Glare isn't really an issue if you go with their bulb capping service with blocks the top end of the bulb where there isn't normally light output from our halogens. I have had the lights in for months without getting flashed and I live out in the country with no streetlights. The increased light output is amazing and as you can see from the pictures, the cut off is quite sharp too (ie low glare).

One more thing, if you're looking for headlights and not fogs, you will need the H13 kit, not the H11 that I posted above.

According to my owners manual, the California Special has the H11 bulbs in the fogs.

You are correct. My previous response was to MoBlack05GT as it sounded like he was looking for a kit for his headlights, not fogs.
