a little more in-depth then i thought... but maybe its just the amount of detail in the instructions, lol. anyone else done this install yet? im just a little nervous about the 'trimming material' away part from the bumper. looks awesome though!

 

It doesn't look too difficult from a read of the instructions. They are very detailed, so it should be easy enough to follow if you're somewhat mechanically inclined. Unfortunately since they're just scans, I couldn't really make out what needs to be trimmed...

Jamie, do we know if the factory facia bezel can be reinstalled after this trimming?

Also... how much slack does the switch wiring have? I'd rather put the switch on my accessory panel on the center console than drill my dash. It's much cheaper to replace a small plastic piece if you screw it up.

 

yeah, those pictures with the trimming is where i got a little lost, the rest of it looks easy.

ive also got the same idea with the switch going on the center console by the ebrake where they pre-cutouts already are. if the wirings not long enough, it should be easy enough to splice on some longer wires.

 

Looks good Jamie. Kinda wished they went all out and gave pre-cut trims along with the kit though (I hate measuring and cutting). Oh well better then nothing I suppose.

 

I don't think the wiring would be long enough honestly. But if your handy enough you should be able to get it down there to the center console. Myself I would just leave it, it doesn't look bad at all in my opinion.

I'm just paranoid, that's all! It would make more sense to have the button near the headlight switch, but I hate the idea of drilling the dash when I have an accessory panel.

 

I know what you mean. I just looked at the kit real close and it doesn't look like it would reach for sure. The switch though looks pretty good like it was supposed to be where you install it, it will not look bad at all.

Jamie

 

I think some "real world" pics of it actually installed will help the response. Lots of people want fogs, just gotta see some done first.

 

^^^^^^ I agree completely. I hope to see some good close up pics and install pics.

I want to order these today, but until I see them...

 

We have sold almost all out of our first batch of stock so hopefully some of those people will post pics! Just looking at the kit first hand and the quality of the pieces, its not cheaply made. I'm 100% sure that the end result will be exactly what you see in the pics on the first post.

Also in case anyone was wondering on bulb type, it comes with the bulbs pre-installed in the housing and they are H8, 35 watts.

Jamie

 

Any chance whether you know if the lip kit on the RS1 will interfere with the lighting for these Jamie?

 

I would think the light from the fogs would be hampered from that plastic bar going from either side in that hole on the bumper. I wouldn't suggest putting a fog there because of that.

 

You won't be able to use any fog lights with the RS1 lip kit.
It completely covers the area these fogs go in.

 

I wanna know if you have to cut the bumper at all...instructions do not state clearly what you have to cut.

 

from what i read, it seems just unscrew mud guards, unscrew/clip off vent covers, cut the actually vent covers, mount the lights and position em into the new holes and reassemble

 

I am still hoping for some pics.

Where are all of the people who snatched these up?

I really hope they look oem. The price is great, I just cant tell from the first post pics if they look right in the vent space.

 

can anyone update with close-up pics yet?

 

Thats what I got out of it too.

 

so, the wire will NOT reach all the way to your center buttons that are cut out? (near the E-brake?)
