Did you remove/break the inner yellow lens?

I used a coping saw to cut the bumper until the fog lights fit. You could use a dremel if you want, but I just used what was lying around the house. Then I used a heat gun to take apart the housing. I then flipped and switched the projectors. After that, it's all about mounting and wiring.

I like the factory ones more. Once you get the shades to match up it will look better, having 2 different colored lights to me, makes the car look cheap.

That looks awesome -- way better than those awful stock tC fog lights.

that is hotness, i was waiting for someone to actually make the idea i had come true. they look awesome dude. but if ya hadda cut the bumper then i'd hesitate.. lets hope that the aftermarket makes something like that soon that would not require any cutting of the bumper, sorta like easy "plug & play" ya know? gj tho :clap:

i rather get the the yellow ones, plus fog lights perform better when yellow because the yellow beam does not reflect back.
nice mod btw

I cut the bumper so that when i push the fog lights in, they would get stuck. I don't know any other way to explain it. I made it so you can only take it off from behind the bumper. The only problem with that is that the lights would wiggle with vibration. As a result I just used a whole bunch of electrical tape to stabilize them. If I had the knowledge and resources, I would fiberglass a housing for the lights. I was impatient and had to "MacGyver" the situation. I know its kinda ghetto, but you can't tell from the outside :P

great job. one of my next conversions. one question though, did you have to take the bumper off? and if you did, when you ran the wires up through the compartment, did you go through the firewall grommet? and if so, where did you power the foglights at?
ok, weirdly formed 3part question.
ProjectD
03-30-2005, 01:12 AM
Yes, I had to take off the bumper. I have done it so many times that I think I am a pro at it! I did go through the firewall and I tapped into the fuse that powers the reverse lights,ac, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
WOW ... Thats cool that they fit ... How did you mount them into the bumper? Do you have any pics from behine the bumper?

you installed them on the stock tc bumper?... and where did you get the lights from? and did you have to do anything to the inside of the fog lights for the lighting?
