good thread.... i thought i was the only one thinking about these fogs....
I photoshoped how it might look, but ended up thinking it was NOT drastic enough to cough up the dough to buy them. $50+ is a bit much if you ask me for a subtle change.... ill try to post my photoshopped version.

ok guys the new fog lights are in they come out really nice especially if you have te black housing headlight like i have. the one thing i would like to let everyone know is that the company who made them cheaped out on the wiring. I actually used the back gasket from the stock fogs and the lamp from the new ones. THe design uses a set of male spades instead of the stock nissan harness. It isnt hard to make them wokr right. I think i had them from start to finsih in about an hour. Once i can get some good pics i will put them up

well i am interested in someone giving me a website that can host my images. BUT AND THAT IS A BIG BUT, i have been very unhappy with the lights this evening. I came home from dinner and was excited to see how they looked. so i turned them on and WELL to be honest they look better in light then in dark. These lamps have no mirror/chrome backing to them. I always thought that without that reflective layer the bulbs would not produce much light and yeah i was right. These lights are no special peice. BEcause they dont have anything to reflect the light the bulb is only as strong as the light it and only IT produces. In the end, yes they look good and mathc the healdights for those with the black headlights and even the projectors but they do not have a functional purpose. i am awaiting a response from the vendor in regards to exchanging them for the titanium series which they call "smoked". I will keep you guys posted.
Someone send me a website that i can use to post the pics and i will get right on it

i dont think that hids would help this. this is a problem with the reflctions of the light source not the power of the light source
and as far as tin foil and epoxy that someone ese wrote. Yeah dont think that will be happening

I'm getting the impresion that a vendor out there is spraypainting the OEM headlights black and selling them for $50+. The titanium ones do seem more practical. But I wonder if the good ol' plastx will work on the OEM fogs.
and hey alicious, you must have had some serious issues in the past, cause your really advertising that tool of yours. "New alarm system".

well i haven spoken with the vendor and i am exchanging them for the titanium smoked series. I also went and got JDM yellow fogs today for 25 to put in the smoked ones when they come in. ANY THOUGHTS ON HOW THAT WILL LOOK.
