Question for you all while I gather the remaining parts:

For the new upper grill where did you all get the small emblem/badge at the top of it?

Who has installed HIDs in these fogs and what did you do to make it all fit properly?

Lastly, how is the light output with HIDs in the fogs?

I have a HID kit on my car and it looks great, the output is very well and bright and thats with 35w canbus..

please help me

thanks

Also the o-ring typically that comes with these adapters are too thick, so swap over the o-ring that came with the bulbs. You can buy these from the net or from me, you will have to mod them. Each fog light will be a little different and adjustments would have to be made with each housing I suspect, so I will leave it up to you to modify them.

If you stop by my shop in Houston you are more than welcome to use my dremel, I would enjoy to shoot the **** with you as we do them. You can scoop these up from me for $13.50 for a pair or $15 a pair shipped. Also you may have to wait a week if I am out of stock. I usually only stock about 10 pairs, they are very slow movers in the Houston market for the shops I deal with. I have H7 HID bulbs also if you need them for $25.00 shipped, you can reuse your current HID ballasts. I have 3000k (yellow), 4300k, 6000k, 8000k, and 10000k.

The CF lip took me about 45 minutes to install as I used pop rivets to hold it on which worked perfectly and secured it very tight against the bumper cover. Everything fit & aligned just right and I'm very happy with the outcome. Gary's service has been first rate and you can't go wrong with this conversion!
