Nice

I'd like to have this mod but I wouldn't like to do it behind the mesh grill. Kinda defeats the purpose...

Is there is reason why you did not go for the 8.0 Inch one?

Do they work with the existing foglight switch?

i just wired it directly to the ignition, so when you turn on the engine it comes on.

I've seen your car before. You're at tea station in convoy area a lot. I love the wheels you got on there.

Sweet, So they are 8" nice! I wonder if it would work the same with the fog light switch? Example if you put the blinker on if it will blink like they do now?

I wonder if you can add this to the center grill what it would look like? This way you can keep existing fogs on second thought prob too much lol and prob electrical issues.

Good pictures and set up!! Was it hard to take off the original fog light housing?

Any error code after you installed?

I don't turn my fogs on, I only use the fog turn lighting feature with them. The hids pretty much provide enough light for the road.

I was thinking about doing LED around the high beam in the headlight housing. I would need about 8-10" LEd that can bend to accomplish this. Kinda like Audi meets BMW, anyone think this would look good?

On a side note @ EFX1 nice LED mod... Just out of curiousity, are those the "tint" color Lamin-X on your headlight, or did you paint the inside housing or is it gunsmoke? Thanks.
