Yes, it was super easy and well worth it. The original fog lights were small in size and super cheap. I hope the new 'Made in Mexico' ones hold up better.

So I drove the car this morning. Fogs are hella bright. And remember I have them upside down for driving lights. Well, I think I need to adjust them and/or flip them right side up and adjust them. The yellow started at the mid-cutoff HID Line and went up from there. If I flip them to normal, I actually think it might be just right despise my original test.

VERY BRIGHT and nice complement to HID.

For those of you that want a "plug and play" pigtail, http://www.autolumination.com will make them for you for around $17 each.

Wow. . that's expensive. You can get pigtails for both sides for $16.96 and just solder them together yourself. If you don't know how to solder, using a crimp connector would be fine as long as you seal it with some dielectric grease and some electrical tape to protect it from moisture.

Has anyone with an FR-S tried buying those, plus the foglight turn lamp cover (OEM, Gazio, or anything else) to get a stock(looking) foglight set up on their car that will not cost $550+
