Time for lighting upgrade part 2! Only this time I am having a pro retro my foglights for me since I just don't have time.

The ingredients:

2x OEM I35 foglights
2x Bosch mini H3 projectors
6000K H3c HID kit

Since I just shipped everything out, I don't have any pics to show yet. But I will update the thread when there is progress

But I can show a few pics of what to expect from the finished product taken from HIDplanet.

The cutoff from the tiny lil projectors:



Just fogs only, good output!

 

Picture time! Here is the progress so far:

 

Next is picking a bezel, and then painting everything gunmetal to match my headlights

 

I got nothing but red "x"

 

fixed

 

wow, do you even need headlights anymore?

also is there a yellow cover over your fogs, or is the pic?

 

that is a pic of the output on another car, he was using yellow bulbs IIRC

 

Sweet! Is this someone you know thats doing the work for you or is there a business that does this?

 

It is being done by linuxglobal from HIDplanet.com, he is one of the "pro" retrofitters there. Very nice guy, and affordable too!

 

how much you paying?

 

I know him. He is from canada also. i am a retrofiter also and can say thathe does wonderful work and pretty cheap for what he does.

 

Yep, very nice guy too, does everything I ask in terms of paint, mods...etc.

 

Update!

Installed in housing


Another look


With a projector shroud


And with inner trim installed, painted to match my headlights.

 

Impressive... most impressive.

 

Completed pics!!

 

Nan, thats awesome!
Congrats on the retrofit... they really look great.. Now get some pics installed already. j/k

That looks awesome. I wish I had clear lense fog lights, the output on those things blows my projector retrofitted fog lights out of the water.

 

looks nice! hope you win some down at AC.. haha

 

Blah, AC was crap this weekend. I had to entertain co-workers and teach them so we sat at the small $5-10 tables with the newbies. Lost a good amount, but made back half of it in 20 min after I was playing by myself at the $25 table.

 

good to hear that you won. Didn't know that they have $5 - $10 tables on a weekend. Did you make it back from playing poker? (haha, as usual)

 

more pictures!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I got the package today! If I don't feel lazy pics will be up tonight!

 

Everything installed! It's raining outside so 2 crappy cell phones pics for now

 

It looks good even with the cell phone pics. When you take more pics, try to get a wall shot comparing fogs alone and fogs with headlights if you can.

 

That really is an awesome set of lighting you have on your car looking forward to seeing some daytime pixs...

 

headlights are lookin' mean. I like it! A++

 

Yeah, looks nice! Can't wait to see how the gunmetal trim looks in the daytime...

 

Daytime pics:







Night time pics will come when it is night time

 

Night pics!

With no adjustment:



With exposure adjustment:



Please note my driveway is slanted since house is on a hill, hence the crooked cutoff.

 

awesome. have any pics of the fogs on by themselves? put some spacers on the back wheels!

 

Those pics are fogs only.

 

Looks awesome. Can we see some shots of the output on the road?

 

Hmm, I would go outside and give some shots, but Giants win = all of NJ/NY going nuts and I don't dare

 

Just noticed those were fogs only...holy somebody lol They look niicceee. Think those projectors would fit in 5.5 gen fog housing? Also, can these be aimed after installed? As in if i drop the car.

 

The projectors are TINY, I am pretty sure it would fit inside your fog. And yes it can be aimed, since you will be attaching the projector to the reflector, and the reflector is the one being moved during aiming.

 

GAINTS!!!!! BABY GIANTS!!!! LOL sunday was crazy!!! anyway good output from the fogs they brighter than my halogen headlights with the fogs on. :-(

 

Front plates are ...



j/k, the fogs turned out great.

 

Headlights, who needs 'em... They're overrated anyways...

 

I actually tried to drive for 5 min w/o the headlights

Didn't work out, the fogs alone weren't intense enough to light up the road. But, my foreground lighting is now insane.

 

great stuff Nan, i got on this forum a while back to check some referred pics.
