Version 3 Foglights
I was wondering if anyone happened to know foglights that "perfectly" fit the outside holes of this body kit. It would also help if they have that blueish tint to match my HID headlamps

I just ordered a pair of PIAA 1100x's for my Veilside V3 bumper. I was told by installer that they would fit nicely. I should have them in a couple of days and will let you know how they work out.

OK guys you wanted pictures, I completed the install yesterday afternoon. I have them posted on my web site.
http://www.rippedzone.no-ip.org/PIAA...20Platinum.asp
Here are some notes and cautions. All-in-all it took me about 5 hours to complete, but I wasted about and hour trying to figure out how to mount them.
1. You're gonna have no choice but to remove the bumper (At least to mount them the way I did). Bumper removal is not that difficult, You have to remove the wheel well covers, 2 bolts that hold the bumper to the fender, about 7 or 8 bolts underneath the car and the 6 locking tabs on top in the engine compartment.
2. If you decide to mount your fogs like me be EXTREMELY CAREFUL drilling into the fiberglass, especially this close to the edge. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED......
3. You're gonna have to cut about 1/8" (4 to 5 threads) off the bolts supplied by PIAA for mounting, or just use a couple of extra washers on the top side. The reason here is because the bolt goes through the mounting plate and through the bumper. If you use the sent length bolt, once the nut is applied and tightened it pushes down on the light housing causing it point too far down.
4. Run and route wires, and test BEFORE re-mounting the bumper. Makes Life easier if you have any problems...
5. I used a ground point on the chassis under the battery cover passengar side fender.
6. Power connection is easy if you remove the red cover plate from the positive side. There you'll find two posts you can use either one. (One does not have a nut on it so you'll have to get one if you want to use that post)
7. For the switch power I tapped into the harness (on the passengar side) that runs up the strut housing and into the battery compartment. There is a Red/Blue wire that is for your parking lights.
Let me know if you guys have any other questions.
