Default Custom Projector Fogs!!

Decided to show off my fog lights. I have had these on for about a year and a half and still haven't seen another tC with my setup!!

it wasn't hard, it was just tedious. i bought the projectors from autozone for about $40 and a couple of "L" brackets from my parents workplace. the only modification that needed to be done was creating the hole in the vent covers for the fogs to stick out. i used a dremel to cut the vent covers and i attached the brackets to the chassis...it was about a 4-5 hour project because i had no instructions on how to do it, it was a lot of measuring and whatnot. without my friend's help i wouldn't have got it to look so clean though.

I did that too on my 08 a while back. It looks good I have a problem with it shining on the far left or right though instead of straight ahead, due to the angle of the bumper. How about you?

my apologies for the late response. i don't have a problem with them aiming to far to the left or right, but they are aimed a bit high. i can't adjust them though since it would require me modifying the vent covers with a dremmel (meaning gaps between the covers and the fog light housing). i just recently wired them to my parking lights though, so now i can use them without the headlights on...

What size dremel Did you use? I might want to redo mine since it shine too far to the left and right. Can you post close up pics of where you cut?
