Default VRD Fog lights

im looking at getting some VRD fogs for my 09 FM tC but i have a few questions first about them.

first im wondering if you need to cut the plastic pieces out of the bumpers thats back in that hole for them fit or do they fit in front of it..hope that makes sense

also i wanna do yellow ones so im debating if i should just buy the yellow ones or if i should get the clear with yellow bulbs..

also where are some good places to buy them and i dont need the switch because my car is wired for the stock fogs already

1) the plastic pieces pop out
2) they dont make vrds in yellow so you are probably talking about those ugly "JDM" foglights on ebay
3) to find the real APT/VRD, they are on ebay under apt.auto

o alright sounds like a easy install then..i thought i was going to have to cut that piece all out and it gets messy and dirty.
ya i think ill just run a yellow bulb in them then with a clear lens and it will give it that clean look.
can these lights handle HID's you think

HID's work in these. I have a set of 3000k in there, and it is just fine.

Congrats on blinding the ____ out of everyone and making the foglights even more useless.

With HID's, you're scattering even more light because the foglight wasn't designed for HID bulbs, so you actually have less usable light than halogens. GG.

Every possible discussion about these fogs has occurred at least twice already.
