my 02 silverado doesnt have fog lights so i was about to order some aftermarketfog lights: ( http://stores.channeladvisor.com/DoctorAutoParts/Items/Item.aspx?itemid=9321438) which are the same as the OEM fog lights but i want to install HID's into the fog light and since this fog light housing is made out of plastic, i was concerned that the heat from the HID bulb will melt the fog light lense and housing. does anybody have any info on this?

It shouldn't put out much more heat than normal bulbs.

ManyHAVE melted their housing with HIDs. It is an issue with the newTahoe plastic housing.

i've been doing some searching ondifferent housings...i found one which is made out of die cast aluminum coated with silver. hopefully this one would do the job unless the plasticaftermarket OEMcopy-catwon't melt for sure itsabout 45bucks cheaper...
so in a nut shell, which one do you guys think i should go for?
take a look at each of them if u dont mind:
Aftermarket OEM copy (all plastic): http://stores.channeladvisor.com/DoctorAutoParts/Items/Item.aspx?sck=7402480&itemid=9321438

Aluminum housing coated in silver with glass lense: http://www.everythingoffroad.com/index.htm?itemqts.958s.html

I bought mine from here:

Theses HID are more efficient than halogen and run cooler than the stock bulbs even though they are xenon. Had mine in for 9 moths no problems with melting at all.

Also had the Halos installed:
