The quickest question about fogs ... where is that kit!!!

There is a website that sells a fog kit and I have looked FOREVER for it and cannot find it. Does anyone know where it is? I know that site sells MEVI kits too.

YES thank you ... why is this kit only 230? People would pay their left nut and 4th arm for fog stuff. I posted this in a previous thread, but what do people use to install these with if your bumper isn't precut (GXE,GLE)

You have to cut out the bumper (obviously). Use a roto-zip or something like that. I suppose a really sharp utility knife would work too (with patience).

I would be happy to take a knife to my bumper, but the problem is that it isn't going to be perfectly smooth. Obviously you can't cut perfect lines. Anyone use a template?

Cut it out smaller than you want it, then use a dremel or simple file to get it exact.

Here are some instructions on cutting out th holes...

CE actually sells the OEM kits for cheaper than Courtesy does. Around $175 if I remember correctly

Same technique, different shaped hole. :

Just trim it down until it fits, and secure it with zip-ties. Paint it with clear or brighten it up w. chrome paint then clearcoat before you do final install. Simple.

Car-part Breakdown:
OK so if you search car-part for the fogs, you can choose left/right *YAY*. Anyway, would you have to call to see if it comes with the brackets or not?

Is the relay a radioshack relay or a special foglight relay?

Car-part doesn't have any search options for turn signals. How would you go about getting it?
