JDM Yellow foglight capsule retrofit

Post by **Archangel1183** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:02 pm

I did a retrofit for a guy on another forum. This isn't a Nissan but its usually the same for most fog lights. I took a few pics of the steps. These are the same capsules that I had for sale here.

Tools used: Screwdriver and Dremel with 2 types of cutting bits.You can find them at Home Depot.

Started by cutting out the stock bulb holder with the circular cutting bit.

After cutting it off, I made the hole bigger with the smaller metal cutter.

I kept checking to see if it fits so I wouln't make the hole too big. I wanted to get a snug fit.

Test Fitment and it fit fine. It touches the inside cutoff shield a bit but it doesn't get in the way.

Finally I used silicone around the inner edges to keep it in place. He's gonna let it dry for 24 hours before installing them on his car. I'll post some night time pics when all done.

They look a lot brighter in person. The camera and angles suck. :/

Hey Ish, you can also use USDM Acura Legend capsules, but in order to remove those from their housings, you need to break the plastic on the outside, junk yards are usually littered with Legends..
