The Stillen Front Lip, and Fog Lights

Okay...

I am considering a Stillen front lip, and I am looking for feedback from owners about the fog lights.

I have the factory fogs, which I think look good with the Stillen lip, but I would like to know if anyone with this setup has trouble changing the bulbs, I have a hard time doing it as it is now (no lip)

Also, for those that have the lip and aftermarket fogs, can you recommend a brand/style?

Thanks

Well....On my old VG, I used to just unbolt the frame, but I broke the bolt, so I opted for trying to remove the screws on the bulb housing (PITA), on my new car I broke the same bolts again, but this time, they were too tough to drill out, and I actually had to move it all a little and remount it.

I already had the aftermarket fogs on before I put the lip on and so I think it's just about your personal preference

try to take off ur old broken bolts before u install the lip cuz then ur gonna have trouble doin'. i had the stock fogs and it was easy for me to change the bulbs and even after i installed the lip it still didn't give me any problems and now i have aftermarket fogs and still no problems. just try and get ahold of those left drill bits to extract the broken bolts and ur good to go.

Round fogs in a Stillen lip =

If anything, get some rectangular ones similar to stock or at least some oval ones that at least somewhat fit the rectangular shape of the fog opening in the Stillen lip.

Oh, and I bought the hella yellow bulbs and they were not very yellow. I was very disappointed. Probably the best aftermarket driving lights I had were Catz, but I don't even know if they make them anymore.

redlinemax.com is having a stillen group buy. go there, get the number, call, and tell him you are from maxima.org and were wondering bout the front lip pricing. corey is a good guy, i bought from him before.
