got the projector bulb like ones. I just didnt like the purple ring around the oval shaped ones.

i hope they 're worth the $33.30 i ve paid.

 

Fogs from CE

 

hey morpheaus, what is your opinion of your fog's light output and its beam pattern?

 

Sorry about it, it was a busy day and almost forgot. Here are the pictures you guys wanted. It is kind of foggy out tonight so it was hard to choose the right angle to take those shots with. Maybe tomorrow night will be better for the shots.

I can see across the street with the second pic. I could prob drive with only fog with how bright they are.

 

I have the same exact fogs that were wireless. The harness got messed up so I hardwired them using some cheap autozone foglight harness, now it's hit or miss if they turn on. But, the fogs are awesome.

 

Those foglights look good but I think the stock ones are the best looking ones of all.

 

those CE fogs are very tempting, might just get them for the remote wiring set

 

For those prices they were very tempting, so eventually I got them and installed it both on mine and my sisters.

 

Mine? My fogs are stock. Beam pattern and light output = crap.

I just got some Hella FF75 driving lights though (not fogs, they're narrow beam, to see further, like mzmtg's):

Single high beam (wiring for other headlight is fubar'd):


Highbeam + FF75s:


As you can see, the output is impressive. I also have 55w/65w Sylvania xtravisions in my headlights, so my headlight is actually significantly brighter than an OEM 4th gen's, and there's still that huge improvement. For $40 shipped/pair, they can't be beat (except maybe by the FF50s, which have slightly better output but are more conspicuous). Just remember not to drive around with 'em on.

 

That's not bad. If only there were a way to retro them into our stock fogs...

 

Someone with talent will eventually come and do it. THe only problem is trying to open the stock fog lights housing. I've heard you have to cut around the edges and when you are done glue it back together. I think it was the forum to make your stock foglights like a IS300 style.

 

hella optilux 2500's

they have a "white" (not blueish) halo i wired in with my parking lights, looks pretty neat i get complements all the time. not the best fogs but for 40 bucks shipped cant go wrong.

 

Is anyone sporting aftermarket and stock fogs at the same time? Id love to see what that looks like.

You think I should try to pull that off? Get the round CE fogs...

 

Yea but they're a ***** to find especially if your car only came with one....

 

I don't think you should try it. It doesn't look very good when they're not on, just sort of cheesy, embodying the 12 year old "more is better" mindset. That's why I have mine tucked up waaay far into the air dam so they're hard to see.

That said, I'd like to get a pair just so I can try and retro them into my stock fogs.

 

The rectangle ones look kinda odd from the start, IMO. Anyone have the round ones on the inside and stockers on the outside?

 

darklegend - how come in these pics the color is white and then in the later pics of the beam pattern, they are more yellow

Perhaps the white balance was setup differently on the camera?

 

got a little problem here...

I cant start a new thread and tried to PM some of the the moderators here about the problem but arent allowed to PM them either...

So eh what can i do to solve this problem?

Yeah the light contrast is little different, but you can always change the light bulb and make them white!!!

 

Oh I know that - I was just wondering why the lights were white in the first pic and yellow in the second - I was wondering if you did had different bulbs between the pics or if it was just a camera thing.

Do you remember (when first bought) what color output the lights gave?

Also did you buy the rectangular ones, or the round projector style?

 

There might be a wire that is spliced. Im not 100% sure its been 5 years since Ive put these one. Im getting my new kit soon when they come ill will post pics with the directions. Tap into your corner lights. Use a small drill bit and make 4 holes. Mark them 1st with the mounting plate in your hand. Then use self taping screws and screw them in. I would use a drill gun for these.

 

here are my aftermarket fogs

 

Well apparently CE charges almost as much to get 'em shipped as they charge for the fogs in the first place, so if I go with projector fogs for maybe a retrofit or something, I think I'm gonna try the Micro DEs.

 

i dont think CE has control over shipping fee tho

 

Well whatever the reason, $20 shipping is ridiculous. I was charged $11 shipping total including a $1.50 handling fee for my FF75s (about same size and weight) shipped from FL. And I'm in CA.

 

wow $20 for shipping is quite crazy. I just order a fog from CE and my shipping was around 8 bucks (ground, cheapest)

 

Sorry about the late post, was helping my friend out with his new grill on a camry after dremeling out the center thing on his 99.

I got the round ones but it just broke today i was loosing them to repaint the outer shell cause of the salt damaged it and the bolt just broke off. So I bought new ones same type off of CE so no worries. Either way I had to replace them someday because one got cracked by a pebble some where while I was driving.

When I first got them they were like lexus yellow nice and bright like the picture. I love them but maybe I want to change the bulb when I get the new ones.

So with the old ones I'm gonna do some modifing on it, get brighter lights in them and some how shove it in my headlights to make it look good. It is a plan that is gonna take some time with. Any tips will help.

 

are the bulbs from CE fogs H3?

 

Here in Maryland, and some other states too I imagine, using lights with a blue color is illegal.

That color is reserved for emergency vehicles.

I'm not saying that you will get pulled every time, but, on the wrong night and with the wrong cop....
:-)

 

does anyone know if a 96 eagle talon tsi fog light will work with the max. they look like they are the same shape as factory but the a clear like the 97-99 headlights?

 

yes they are, or atleast I think so

 

where i live they have better things to do...like clean up crime scenes and what not

 

My guess is that it would fit like a 1 piece cefiro headlight would fit in a 4th gen max--would also require some fabrication/cutting. Do you have a closeup of them? I'd like to see them, as if they're really clear, they'd do very well with a fog projector retrofit.

 

Check my homepage. 1st Foglight pic is with the APC Gatlin Gun lights, 2nd is 3 1/2" Wal-Mart Specials, 3rd and 4th are the most recent Oval Autozone specials.

 

These are the Luminics yellow bulbs i put in.



And these are packetattack...can see pics in his link

Here in Tucson, I've seen some cars with blue turn signals!!! I'm suprised that don't really care.

 

are the CE fog lights sold as a pair?
or are they $25 for each one, equally $50 for the pair? <- i hope not

they don't really specify very well, or give any details.

Is this a quality product, I trust CE, but I mean the details are def lacking

 

i see alot of pics of 97-99 but not alot of 95-96. i am saying this because the bumper is different and the oem fogs are in more in the bumper then the 95-96 fogs.

 

they are sold in a pair ( 2 fogs) for 24.99 especials and comes with wiring, relays, switches.

i ll post some pics of the fog lights and its beam at night as soon i get them installed.
