Love it Darren, cant wait to rig mine up next week if the harness shows by then. Never gonna order from that place again!

Chen · 02-27-2013, 02:03 AM

Do mine! I wish they just made a kit so you won't have to buy everything separately.

Also how bright are the hids you went with?

@DarrenDriven - are all the bezels spoken for? Looks great man!

Looks good, not I don't feel special with OEM fog lights.. Need to put HID fogs or switch out that crappy yellow lights to LED bulbs. Does anyone know if the LED bulbs get too hot and melt the housing?

DarrenDriven · 02-27-2013, 12:22 PM

Richard, it took me a couple hours to install them... not very hard at all, if you can get your front bumper off then you can install these.

Kevin, I have one set of the bezels left.

Kohei, LEDs should run cooler than incandescents, right? I don't think they would melt the housings.

Idk how well leds would work as fogs. In my experience the light distance for LEDs is very poor.

LEDs are awesome. I will try LED fogs as the NW guinea pig. I will have LED headlights coming soon too.

I have led drls and led switch backs. They aren't bright enough. They are mainly for stance.

my parts (bezel, foglight, and harness) have run me about $180 (shipping included). I'd imagine darren's setup with the hid bulbs would have put him at or a little over $200?

labor seems pretty straight forward and do-it-yourself. so i guess FREE. unless you want darren's work and resources, then i'm sure there's some beer involved.
@Chen - There's a DIY video in the foglight thread, the guy didn't even need to take off the bumper for install.

Chen · 02-27-2013, 05:11 PM

I've seen the video. Just not feeling confident to do it myself. I'm sure it's a lot easier than it looks.

m.box.design · 02-27-2013, 05:14 PM

i'm sure it's way less work than installing that exhaust you have. lol
