good job looks nice.. i like the rectangular instead of the round ones... plus they're in the front as opposed to behind the grill which i like... can you post a link to where you got those from ? and if possible, a small description of how you mounted them ? thanks!

I'm just curious as to why you located them where you did? Are they more fuctional up there, or did you not have enough clearance on the bottom of the grill?

I want some! Looks great.

I'm also curious about which lights they are. Any issues/concerns with them heating up and possibly melting the grill?

they are APC High power halogen H3s.....Well Ill let you into a secret guy's,I bought them from Autozone Hey for $40 with remote what can I say,they were just what I was looking for,they are a white light the pics make them look yellow.
ok pics at night.....The camera makes the light look yellow infact it is a white light, the shot even makes the hid's look yellow.

The install....Well it was pretty straight forward,If you do buy fogs just by looking at the bracket will give you a good idea of what is involved,If you feel the front edge of the grill,you cant see that it tucks under its self the bracket slips nicely into that tuck,(you will see what i meen when you take a look) so all i did was to hold it in place with a 10mm nut and bolt,the bolt is a black dome head type so you can hardly tell its there (not included in the kit) but you can pick them up from any hardware store,as for the wiring instructions/diagram should come with the lights as does the switch,harness,and remote. its a breeze to to wire it up,I guess the trickest part was finding away thru the firewall,there is a grommet behind the battery where the harness passes thru,depending on where you want to mount the switch and im guessing it will be somewhere on the driver's side,there wasnt enough harness supplied with the kit so i drilled a small hole on the left side under the cover used a small grommet then threaded the wires thru,you can see where I mounted the switch. the switch isnt the best in the world untill I find a better one it will do.
By the way i did have to cut about 3 inches out of the grill so as the light could sit in there but its so snug you cant tell,dont let that put you off
sorry about the quality of the pics ......cheap digital.

Latter

ps I did pre install them at the bottom of the grill and that looked good too but I thought being as the car was low to the ground I'd get more light putting them where I did.
