You'd have to be carefull doing the fogs, the foglamp multiplugs would need cutting off and wiring direct to the ballasts, ballasts need mounting up high enough to prevent water damage, and as for getting the wiring into the lamp housings, with them being very exposed to road spray...
You'd only need an H7 kit though, cheaper than an H4. :P
