I don't know about A b/c I haven't seen them in person but, for B, they won't be a perfect fit on '02-03s because they're only 4'' round. I put in another brand and they were 4'' and it's about a ~.5'' gap all around.

I was just investigating this myself. Has anyone done a write-up? It doesn't look like it's going to be easy to rig it to hang correctly in our factory location, being that it is a cylindrical tube with a back, like a cup holder.

Anyways, I did find one org member who has them, but didn't install them himself:

Scroll down, and there are some pics of it, but no nighttime yet.

If you want better lights (output-wise) down there and don't really care much about the gap, get the $40 BlazerTech 3200s/CyberWhites (what Walmart sells them as) and stick some PIAA Xtreme whites in there. It is an absolute perfect match to the HIDs. If you're goin for the yellow fogs look, BlazerTech also sells 2200 yellow fogs.

Kojiro, it's not really tough (again if you're willing to deal w/that gap all around the light) to mount them. All I did was cut a circle of plexiglass roughly the same size as the hole and drilled 2 holes, top & bottom, into it so you can just mount them like the stock ones mount. That is, first just mount your fog lights' bracket to the plexi, then 2 bolts top & bottom thru the plexi and mount them like the stock ones. Just put those 2 bolts thru the original holes in the foglight location and, from the back, put on the nuts to tighten the entire thing up. It's hard to explain, but once you look at it, it's not too hard to do.

I don't know if you can see in my sig. But I have the Hella angeleyes installed on my 01. You can check out my homepage. Not that much of a gap since the 01's have smaller fogs then the 02's. No night pics yet though.
