Hey guys, I got some new fog lights and I wanted to see what you guys think about the mounting position. I'ts a small difference but tell me what you think. Should I have them closer or further apart? Oh, and don't worry about the color, I'm tiniting them yellow real soon. I know they're crooked, they're not screwed in. Okay now photos:

Closer together

Or further apart?

I'm feeling the wider positioning better. Thanks for looking!

Honestly, I would think as long as their equal distances from each side of the bumper k don't think it matters. I would like the closer one I think, but they look uneven

HAHAHAHAHA that is so true... As for fog lights, I ran with fogs both in the vents and in the center opening. I prefer the center because the vents looks kind of weird with fogs IMO even though I made a perfect cut out from the vents. It kind of gave it a Miata look (don't ask me why...) Having them in the center kind of offsets the lights from your head lights and it gives it more of an aggressive look, both night and day. Definitely not rectangle though. Although, rectangle may look nicer in the vents but then again stock fogs look better in the vents.
