Has Anyone Used a 15W HID kit in Their DRL's?

I wanna put HID's in my DRL's AKA "fog lights"... I've been doing some searching and everyone's saying the 35W kit will melt the housing because the DRL's use a plastic cover? I really dont wanna do the whole replacing the DRL with fog lamps from a non-RS. And I DON'T wanna do the LED's.
So has anyone used these 15w kits? Will these melt the housing?
http://shop.mobileweb.ebay.com/searc...0&isNewKw=true

Also I realized these can only be in 6000k. I want 8000k so I was wondering if I can switch the bulbs like the ones from DDMTuning for only $15
Oh and to have them turn on with my headlights I just need a harness right?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
