I did mine a few weekends ago, and agree, those little clips are difficult to install, in fact, I couldn't figure em out so I just left em out! I can't really tell from the following picture where they are...



Help! I don't want my fogs falling out on the highway!

Hrmm, couldn't edit my first post... Anyways, I took a closer look at your first picture with the "clips" and those looked nothing like the ones in my kit! The clips that mine came with were like those kinds that clip onto the edges of body panels, and accept a screw through it. No wonder! Anyone know if the correct clips can be ordered seperatly, and if so what the part number is?

has anyone found out how to wire the Fogs without the Headlites on?

If someone can PM or e-mail me a schematic, I will figure out if the headlight supplies a ground or hot to the fog relay, or the switch, and do a write and pics for you guys.

You can use light bulbs of model 168 or 194 with blue or silver coating to replace the parking light bulbs.

Has anyone found a "whiter" replacement for the parking lights? Thats the only part messing up the color on my new lights. I couldn't find any bulbs to those specs at the auto parts store.

On top of that, it was pretty dam cold today in NYC. Anyway, thanks for the write up. I will post some pics tom. of the car up against the wall with the silverstar ultras.
