I modded my 08 bumper with a 2014 Aero bumper. Been without fogs for sometime because i didn't want to run stock. Finally found these XB Led fogs and have heard nothing but good things about. They fit perfect just have to make a bracket. Wires are plug and play. The cut offs are amazing and super bright (brighter then HIDS ) here is a pic of them installed. Just wanted to give the Y51 guys another option that works for the car.

Looks good, need some pics of them on along with the cutoff.

Also the fogs for the Y51 are H8's instead of H11's like the Y50's, so we'd have to account for that.

These fit in the stock location? Or did you have to alter the bumper?

Also, these are the ones you bought, right?

Please post some pictures of them on/cut off, etc. Also, a quick HowTo of how to remove the stock fog lights, etc. if you can. Thanks!

As for H11 vs H8, the harness is the same, it's just the bulb that is different. These should plug right in to our harness since we don't have to worry about modifying the bulb (see here),

The mounts look fine, and besides, it's on the inside of the bumper that no one will ever see. Great job.

Is that light beam pic from just your fog lights? It looks kinda high off the ground for fog lights or is your driveway sloped?
