first of all...i love HIRs.
it is unfortunate the technology is limited to 9011/9012 fitments (9005/9006).
In my old 2008 Mazdaspeed3, I couldn't get the old style Toshiba 9012 HIR in the fog lamp housing.
i did get them in once shaved. i have little experience with them in fogs so it's good to hear this info, but most isn't all
it can't hurt to try
there were no glare issues in the Mazda fogs with these bulbs
honestly, they were relatively poor from the start in terms of a fog pattern and were probably more for aesthetics
i used them more as another illuminated light on the front of my car for other drivers than anything else.
all it did was make a brighter glow on the bottom of my bumper in terms of oncoming drivers.
i rationalized the waste of money on a slightly increased safety factor.
