Fogs/Halos... pretty ricey, but turned out really well... (56k beware)

I installed some hella optilux 2500's (not really FOG lights persay, they are more of a driving light/aux light, the beam pattern is awesome). They are 3.5" circles and fit in the stock locations perfectly. I had some members PM me for pics a while ago, finally got around to taking some, but lost the PMs from the interested parties, hope this helps anyone looking to do something similar. Thoughts and opinions appreciated as well.

Cheers

pepboys locally here had them on sale for 55 bucks, although ive seen them on multiple websites for that same price + shipping. i think these are the same thing, although they say 4inches, its the same model as mine: http://www.autobarn.net/opaney.html

yeah they are kinda growing on me, i feel the same way. the light output is just an H3 bulb (like stock), but the beam pattern is much improved over stock with the hella housing, i guess it helps that its all aftermarket 12 guage wiring too

im wondering if any GXE's out there have added aftermarket fogs and used the OEM foglight control part, i would probably like to investigate something like that to keep the interior more or less stock

Can you snap a pic from the driver seat with just the aux lights on (no headlights, parking lights ok). I wanna see the beam pattern. Even better, see if you can shine it to a wall 20feet away. Thanx!

as you wished!

both of these pics are with just the fogs on, nothing else. its funny how these are even WAY better than my old 9004 headlights before I did the 9007 upgrade.

approx 20ft away...
