Hey, thanks for the links. So is this this just a projector "look" and just uses the OEM bulbs?

Thanks in advance.

Wow I got ripped off! LOL I paid $210 w/shipping for my projector fogs off eBay! Same ones too... They are good quality, and I was surprised that they are glass. The only complaint I have is the aiming bolt is made of soft plastic and strips REALLY easily. So now both my fogs point upward and aren't even ;-(

Yes it uses OEM bulbs. Projector beams work much differently than regular halogen housings.

I would recommend going to the projector fogs if you either:

1. Want the projector look

2. Plan on installing aftermarket HID's in the foglights. The projector beam with HID will give you a much better light pattern compared to a halogen housing.

Cool, thanks for cluing me in!
Haven't done much cosmetically for the car, but have always wanted to update the headlights and fogs.
