Chicken Wire, Fogs, and a License Plate Holder

[l33th41]

I finally got pulled over last week for no front plate so I picked up one of the Swift hide away license plate holders. While I was at it I decided to install some chicken wire and a set of Hella FF75 fogs.

After removing the fascia I installed the Stillen mesh per their instructions.Next I cut two 2x6 rectangles into the mesh. (I wanted to mount the fogs flush with the front of the fascia, so I needed to cut into the mesh to accommodate the depth of the fogs - this also actually helps the stability of the fog lights)The bulbs in the fogs are H7 so to connect to the factory wiring harness (H11) I used the H11 cables that came with the Xentec HID kit I'm no longer using, cut off the female ends, and crimped on some spade connectors.Finally I slid the fogs into the rectangles I cut out earlier and screwed the fogs into the fascia using the supplied mounting brackets.

Here is the final product:





Once someone releases some aftermarket headlights I'll be replacing the bulbs in the fogs with some xenonmatch bulbs. I'll take some night shots tonight.

Looks really good, I don't know where I would mount fogs on my fascia because once I get some mesh put back there I'm going to have the license plate pretty much where your passenger fog light is (darn California and their stupid laws)

Do you have like 2 inches of clearance with your plate now? Sheesh...it just looks REALLY low...like you are going to bend it in half the first time you go to park somewhere with a raised sidewalk.

But, looks really nice! Good job!

haha yeah it is pretty low now - i'll have to measure the exact clearance... i did go down a pretty steep incline with it yesterday with no scraping... will definately have to avoid speed bumps thats for sure
