The APT are VRD just not from the same seller, and don't put HID in them even though HID runs cooler than Halogen. These lights are no where near designed to project a correct beam with HID installed. You will be blasting people in front of you with the worst glare possible.

They are not painted yellow, they are vinyl overlays. And it is up to your preference.

Thanks for the link....got it figured out! Can't wait to get um in!!!! Now my only problem is matching the color bulbs.......i have 4 chip white leds mounted under the fogs.....i need WHITE bulbs....i'm talkin like whiter than white. Like in the dictionary under 'white' there's a picture of the bulbs...lol. My headlights are smoked with Lamin-x so they always have a that dullish yellow kinda look, but i'll take suggestions on headlight bulbs to help that situation, i would like to match the best i can, and i'm looking for WHITE.

i was just saying that the post didnt make any sense

Do you know why they like vrd/apt fog lights more than any fog lights in ebay?

^^Most people think the vrd/apt fogs look the best. Plus they use pretty much the exact same wiring harness as the OEM ones so there is no cutting or splicing like some of the other fogs on ebay. I have had them for alittle bit now and love them, they just look good!

Pretty much the same way you install the OEM fogs. Search for the how-to in the tech section.

No mine went in tight, I kind of felt like they were almost too tight. You shouldn't have a problem, not will really knock them out unless you hit something
