They do look good, on a scale from 1-10 what was the degree of difficulty, 1 being the easiest. I need to replace mine so this is what I'm looking to get.

id give it a 4.

all in all. ive never pulled the bumber off and still it only took my 45 minutes to have it completely done.

the covers over the holes have 1 10mm bolt holding them on as well as a clip on the bottom, you just pull it off and put the fog right in its place, there is no adjusting it or anything.

the hardest part was pushing the wires for the switch through the firewall. i dont know how youd do it with the stock rubber piece in the firewall, i had to have mine replaced with a kinda... rubber/Styrofoam hybrid, its really flexible and i can stick stuff through it really easy.

I was thinking about projector fog lights. I'm not a fan of the halo part in the fog lights but I want projector fog lights. I'm thinking about redoing my headlights and this time putting dual projectors and having projector fog lights with the cut-off being the same. what kind of bulbs are used and hows the quality of the fog light? I mean for $45 I'm not expecting the best thing in the world but I've gotten some pretty good quality stuff from ebay for dirt cheap... for $45 each set, I might just buy 3 sets and use 2 of the sets for my projector headlight retrofit.

When I orderd the set I was skeptical of the quality as well.i don't have a lot of background with projectors to compare with anything though.I'll try to cover as many areas as I can.as far as build goes, the thing was put together well.the housing with the projector is all metal, aluminum I think, with a plastic piece to mount to the bumper.i did take a quick glance at how to change the bulb but did not see any way to do it.the projector is protected by glass front.which is real glass. Not plastic. Any other areas I didn't cover just ask

I got those almost a year ago. They are cool but i dont know if you had the same problem as i did, but i had to extend the passenger side wiering about 6 in. Also the bolts to hold on the backplain stripped easy when i changed out the bulbs and one of the back covers fell off a week ago and i had to make another out of epoxy. The metal they are made of is real sh!tty. Also why did you take off the bumper? I did mine in my garage with jack stands and took about 20 mins to install. There was lots of prep work due to the wiering error. Looks good though. It would be sick if you changed the led's to red. That would take a sodering iron and patience and probly most of your day though.

I took the bumper off cuz I couldn't get to the bolt on the top of the fog assembly without burning myself on the radiator.it was pretty warm

And all the wiring
was the necessary lengths

So if I have factory fogs is install easier? Can you just cut into the wires on the oe fogs?? I hate driving at night as I am blind in my right eye, I almost ran a jogger over that was jogging at night and cut in front of me :facepalm:

No offense, more curiosity, but you are allowed to drive when you are blind in one eye? Here I don't think you would even pass to get a license. How do you judge depth etc. Just curious.

Factory fogs = way easier install. Should be able to use the OEM wires and modify to make them work with the halo fogs. Depending on how you wire it, may have to put in another switch for the halos.

I am only blind in my right eye, if it was my left eye i wouldnt have a drivers license in Colorado. Thanks for the info on the fogs.
