looks good. The walmart H3's are the same as autozone or advance. I ended up puting the whiter bulbs in mine cuse i had a gift card to auto zone and couldnt think of any other crap i needed. They look preety good. I might try for HID's soon for both fogs and headlights=Sicknesssssssss [IMG][/IMG] These are the new bulbs. They look about the same in the picture though.

Sorry for the second thread jack but i have been looking for clear side markers. I found some i think on FRsport but they were like 80 dollars Does anyone know where a good place to get them is. I have found just random ones but they are always massive or to small.

This is exactly what I planned on doing, and there's a right up for it. It looks so sweet behind the grilles.

So I did my install today with the clear rectangular ones from Advance. It looks so cool, but I have to take the passenger one out and adjust it.

Is the switch on the light supposed to stay on when the fogs are off, even when the ignition is off and the keys out? I think I may have tapped into something other than a ground wire.

I should buy two more sets when I get a roll bar

If you bought the big yellow ones then you gotta follow the DIY on the first post, because i found some clear, small ones and installed them differently.

I finally got some pictures. I still haven't adjusted the fogs yet, the right one needs to be angled out more and both need to go up some more.

And to make running from someone at night easier, even though that will never happen.

My dad isn't a big fan of fog lights, but he told me mom how cool he thought it looked after I showed them to him. I actually had someone ask if they were factory the other night.
