Bezels were about $40, housings were about $100 (although I've seen people get them for $80 at friendly dealerships) and the HID set was on sale for $30. That's $170 without a switch... will probably get the BRZ stalk with the integrated fog light switch in the near future.

I have the LED fogs, I got them halfway installed and now I'm stuck...so they are on the car, but they don't turn on

I will buy beer for anybody that can help me wire them correctly.

I just texted you... you can call me and maybe I can help over the phone.

If not, I might be able to help out Sunday afternoon.

Darren I'm out of school until April 1st. Any chance the garage will be open to install some steering rack bushings between then and now?

Yeah. We can swing that. Maybe @stockysnail can swing by to assist... I think he has done those bushings already and knows the method. I have to move some stuff out of the way of the lift, so let me know what day would be good for you and I can clear the space.

Sure I could help. I should have rear diff insert bushings coming in the next 5ish days or so. If they are here by then maybe we could get both done. I have the Perrin oil cooler sitting here waiting to be installed as well but that doesn't need a lift at all. The diff inserts would be much easier with one however.

That would be sweet. Whenever you've done something before it seems to take about 50% of the time the 2nd time around.

Darren wanna shoot for the 28-29th and wait for Stockysnail's bushings come in?

Yeah. I might end up just helping you guys get the cars up on the left, then getting some work done on the house. You two can help each other get the bushings installed on your cars. Win win.

I know mike and I are getting together next Thursday before the last Thursday meet. If you happen to do it then. It would be cool to do a pre-meet with mods. Lol
