I am kind of disappointed that the thread VRD started on their fog lights no longer displays the pics for the install. I am wondering how difficult it is to install.

And on a second note, do the lights turn on/off with the headlights are parking lights or do you have a choice?

Thanks!

 

didn't it come with instructions?

no u dont have a choice, your headlights must be on. There is a mod around it though.

 

it's easy to install... it only gets slightly more difficult with a lip kit as you'll just need to do some additional work (cutting)

but other then that.. everything is just pretty much plug n' play.

 

took 30 minutes to install mine

 

I am getting my jp vizage kit installed soon, that still shouldnt be a problem right?

 

do the instructions that come with them explain how to plug everything in??

 

TRDsparks has a PDF for the installation of the stock fog lights. From what I understand (someone correct me if I'm wrong) it should be the same, but just with the equipment you receive from VRD.

Here is the link.

Yeah I just installed these last weekend. Download that pdf and it pretty much follows the same install. The only time-consuming part is removing the front bumper and putting it back on but otherwise it's plug and play.

 

I installed mine a couple weeks ago without removing the bumper. It took me a long time ( >1 hour) because I'm pretty much a complete car newb and it took me forever to get the cover thing under the engine off. Other than that, it was surprisingly easy.

 

there is a way to wire it to allow the fog lights to come on independently i did it and it works here the link

just follow the pics basically the gray wire is the relay's power to control the magnet

 

How difficult was it to install the VRD without removing bumper? I'm planning to order the vrd from ebay and i really don't want to remove any bumper.

 

you shouldnt have to remove the bumper its basically the fender liners but only the front half of it, if u look under ur car and right behind where the fog lightss are u just need to take that part off, its only 5 screws

 

well i took of the bumper so i could route the wires and firmly tie em up to the engine wire harness its not even that hard though.

 

Only hard part is what tkevin07 said, removing the fender liners, which still isn't that hard.

 

what is fender liners =o

so I don't have to take the bumper off right thats all I really need to know.

 

i used the OEM fog light install guide to install my VRDs.

That's the topic I used. Its basically the same exact procedure, same steps plugs everything. Only thing different is the location of the lights. and obviously you don't have to remove the grill. I actually removed my front bumper, found it easier to work like that.

Front bumper is cake to take off. I did it in a few min. One bolt behind the fender liner, One on it. One under the corner, then like 5 out front, other side is the same as the first. couple push plug thingies up top and it just pops straight back.

 

If i take it to an autoshop would they be able to install for it?

 

huge waste of money... but yeah i guess...

 

If you can take the vent panels out you can install the VRD fogs. I did mine in about 10 min.

 

well its the electrical part that I don't get
