Yes it took alot of work and some cutting (the bumper must come off). My dad and I had to do it. We custom wired a switch that lights up looks factory by the tcs button (in that empty space). I can get shots of that too.

On this car it turns on/off by remote, on the brick the switch.

We had to make the housings/brackets/etc. All holes must be countersunk, so the screws sit flush with plastic/metal. That way everything is level.

Why red? Isn't that a tad risky?

The cops could care less I guess. I have had them for a long time now and not one word. I have gone as far as driving just before it gets "dark, dark", with only fogs and parking lights as a test, and passed two cops and didnt even get pulled over.

I get many compliments though, on them. I love the red, and I am getting another set soon (trying to decide if I want the doubles?). Mostly those look "pimp", tight, badass, etc.

I will try and do a how to w/pics for the fog lights next fri or sat, when I am installing the smoked reflectors. Its hard to show b/c I am not actually installing it.

Anyone want a shot of my painted calipers and slotted/drilled rotors while I am at? Could do a how-to on the painting too?

Would you rather have the instructions for the switch or remote? Using the switch you need whats called a relay and one other little peice.

The beauty of this project is that it will cost you under 40-50 bucks.

Yea, do a write up on everything. My question someone else asked is what type of fog lights are those? Cost?

Red looks good but looks a little too attention getting. Not sure If I want blue or white because Im worried blue may stand out still too much with the lights on
