So even though you are getting them, you decided to post before you tried mocking them up?

As long as you are getting them, can you PLEASE take pictures side by side (from the front and side) of the IS300 fogs next to the 97-99 fogs?

My guess would be as long as the angle of the inside of the fog is fairy similar to ours that only spacers or small custom bracket would be needed to physically fit them. As far is powering them, I am not sure how they are similar or different. When do you expect to have them in hand?

es300 fogs dont really fit, but if you keep cutting at them you can get them to fit. kevlo has done one, i've tried myself and gotten one to work but aiming was a pain so i scrapped the idea.

the IS fogs will work pending now much CUSTOM work you want to put in to them. obvoiusly projector > non, but i felt it was too much work

The actual foglight won't fit. But you can remove the projecter from the housing and do a retrofit into your foglight, similar to the way an individual would retrofit projectors into headlights.

Do you have any pics of finished product and the light output?
