Well not home made exactly but its close.

This is for those of you who were asking for a brief write up on them.

You can find these at autozone and i think maybe some other auto parts stores.



Ok now when you have them installed make sure you sand the part where you attach your ground wire.

Ok i know i went alittle overboard with the ground wire but it gets the job done! (my bolts were too long)



Make sure you cut the hinges off the bottom of the lamp so it would fit better.Im sure you guys can do a better job then me haha.

Now your grills would have to be cut to where they look like this. ^^^

Align the fog lights to the grill as most you can.



I chose small, self taping screws to hold the lights firmly in place.

Then screw the grills back in place and these are the results!



And now what they look like when turned off.



Best 17 bucks i ever spent.

Where did you wire these to? The battery and a switch, to the parking lights, something? Simply put, I am kind of retarded when it comes to these things.

Dang those looks really cool and original so that means I want to copy you!

Looks good, if you haven't already make sure you paint those grounds so water doesn't get to the bare metal and start rusting it away.

I did the exact same thing with the exact same lights. But I only used one screw on each side hehe.

For those asking about the install it comes with a lighted switch that I mounted to the left of the steering column by the hood latch with a couple little screws.

I relocated the battery to my trunk so I just ran the + line to the circuit breaker I have under the hood.
