Formula Red Halo Fog Light Install/Write up! Welp, spent all day workin on my new Red Halo Fog lights. Heres the run down on the install.. wasnt to bad other than the fact that I had to splice the original wireing to make them longer to reach both sides of the car.
Make sure your new fog lights are the correct diameter and depth as your originals before you begin the install. Makes life much similar.
Step 1: Remove the fog lights from the car.
Step 2: Remove the Fog light houseing from the bracket that holds it to the bumper.
Step 3: I had to find some scrap aluminum to mount the original bracket to the new fog light. The new fog light came with brackets but they would not work on my specific bumper. So this is what I came up with. I bent the bottom edges of my 2 brackets on each side to help stiffin up the fog light and keep it in place.
Step 4: The wireing, in which Im sorry I do not have pics for because in all honestly was totally wack. I had to cut the original wireing harness for the new fog lights because it wasnt long enough to reach across the car and I already have switches in the car. For the Fog light itself I just wired it directly into the original wireing for the old fog lights. Cut the connectors off and spliced the new connectors in, very easy. The neon halo I wired into my other neons running off the switch I currently already have in the car, thus deleteing the switch they sent.
Step 5: Grab a Budwieser, Kick back, and enjoy! This was a very easy mod and looks great in person!
Goes great with my interior neons and I also deleted my ram air neons and added one of them inside the MTI Lid.. looks kinda dark in the pic but looks awesome in person!!!
Some may call it rice.. some may call it stupid... I call it mine!

The install looks nice, but watch out for the police since you have red lights on the front of your vehicle.
I have similar looking fog lights (I left the LED ring disconnected though). I mounted them a little differently. I bent the stock bracket and attached the bracket that came with the fog lights to it. Also, since I had broken 880 bulbs, I used their bases to make the fog lights plug-and-play with the unmodified stock car harness.

Looks like they came out great. Some might call it rice. I'd call it 
I still remember the first couple of times people saw my interior lighting. They were like...PURPLE!
But then I'd tell them to get in (preferrable while wearing anything white), and then they'd be like...ooohhhh, ahhhhhh.
Good job on the lighting!
