I'm sorry "front242". I will not do anything on other peoples cars that may be a potential for electrical fires. With my set up, I've already went thru 2 sets of fog bulbs within 6 months. I got it fix however, I anticipate the same problem if I do other peoples cars. Too much of a hassle for me.

Just go under "forums", then choose "regional areas" from the sub listing, and select "Great Lakes" for category listings.
I'll see you there .. nice fogs btw.

I might be there ROLTC. If I do go, I probably will not stay long.


To everyone here:
Thank you all for your compliments.

That's great! I'll be placing my order for this kit.
your setup is nice. you are pretty clever to design the light rings to work with the turn signals. wish you had a video demonstration.

I'm not familiar with the whole video uploading process.
I really want to show how each bulb flashes alternately from each other.
I may just borrow a friends camcorder.

Does anyone know how to:
1. Transfer camcorder video to computer?
2. How to upload a video to internet?
3. How to post a video in this tread?

Looks good. How did you make the 'frame' or 'bezel' around the fogs? Is it just that piece of plastic that sits in the vent, just with a hole cut out for the light?

1. Unless you have a PC with a TV tuner card and video capture software, forget about VHS or tape camcorders. Try finding a digital one instead. Or even find someone who's cell phone can take video and snap it with that. You could probably email the vid from your phone to yourself, then up it.

2 and 3. Try www.youtube.com. You can up vids here, it works just like image hosting. You can also google 'video hosting' and find some other sites. Most restrict the size of the vid, so you gotta know how to compress or edit them if it's too big. Even if you can't get HTML code to display it here, at least you can put a link to where people can view it.

Thanks for the advise SHAOLIN. Hopefully it works out for all of us here.

About those vent inserts. I threw away the original plastic vent covers and fabricate my own grill. Couldn't find a grill with a tight knit mesh that was small enough to use in that vent area. So I improvised with a kitchen stove ventilation exhaust filter element. The filter element was about 12' in length and 12' in width. The element was constructed with that aluminum grill mesh and fiberous material. It was easy to cut the grill mesh and form its' shape. Then I used those black nylon door edge protectors for your car and wrapped those around the grill mesh edges.




BTW I got the filter element from Home Depot. It's just under $10.
