Can someone photoshop this idea to see how it actually would look like.
It has been done!EBAY

what do you guys think of the halo headlight they sell? thinking about getting a pair of these. i dont care for the "eyebrow" lighting at the top of the Anzos, I think these look a little better with the 5 single led.s

As long as this supports aftermarket hid kits without issues than I'm sold. I think it's hot, but I don't think that blue led eyebrow is legal. I'd get a ticket so fast.

I dont think the fit is right. They dont flow with the curve of the bumper well and it looks like its cutting off the top of the side vent, not like its part of it. Probably because it is.

This is the best picture I can find on a 1 minute search on Google, courtesy of IGN Cars.

This is the precise look these fog lights should have. So if someone ordered these fog lights, I think it would look fantastic if you replicated the swiss cheese look that Five Axis presented with their concept xB2.

God, that would look hot on my box.

Thanks for the feedback guys! The Carbon Fiber Fog light kit on the company XB2 you all saw at the Longo show was the prototype. Here are some pics of a customers car that came in over the weekend and got the kit installed. Since the prototype revisions have been made and the fitment is EXCELLENT and the revision now has arctic white led's. We didn't do the "swiss cheese" cut outs to avoid water or debris build up that could damage the fog light. Check them out guys!!!

I understand why you didn't put in the cuts in the CF fog lights, but I wash my car at least once a week, especially since I'm always driving for at least an hour on the interstate daily. It looks great on the car and I'm definitely considering it. Looks great.

They look very nice! Will def be looking into getting these over the summer.

I don't get why that guy now has two sets of foglights? Lol seems kind of pointless

We have not test fitted them on a RS 5.0 but if you could stop by we can check fitment.
Let us know.

So I had a quick question regarding these, since after re-reading this topic I learned that they are LED fogs. I understand the nature of LEDs and that they don't output light that well, so is there any way to alter the output of these lights so that they function as traditional fogs? I want to put fog lights in my car, but I want the funky look that the xB has. I'm not digging the conventional two fogs in the lower grill - I'd rather have them there.

So is this preset with a LED interface that you cannot replace with a simple bulb, such as a HID kit?

EPIC FAILURE!!!! the "side Vent" "FOG LIGHTS" that are on E-bay, are just STICK ON... they don't replace the plastic covers.. you have to drill a hole in the cover, and the "Light" has 3m tape to adhere to the vent cover.. I would NEVER buy the ones from E-bay. and suggest to everyone to do the same... I believe you would be very disappointed.
