Default Added Projector Fogs to Match

I figured square fogs aren't cool with round headlights. So I fixed it. Here's the progress so far... Pardon the dirty car (too many bugs out on the back roads!!):

Stock:


Hella 90mm Projector lows, Hella Free Form Highs, stock fogs:


Hella 90mm Projector lows, Hella Free Form Highs, C5 Corvette fogs:




I'm still designing the bracket for the headlights and we're going to work on a sick bracket for the fogs as well.

What brand projectors did you use and how is the quality and cutoff?

Thanks guys. Brian, the lows are Hella and the fogs are "Blazer" which are the C5 fogs. The cut-off's are solid. The fogs cutoff is even better than the low beams.

A lot of guys mod D2S HID bulbs into the fog/driving light housings and they have some GREAT results... Not my photo but here's an example of the fog/driving lights:

Some people have had luck with 880 HID kits too.
Check out the links I posted in your other thread.

Just an idea, but...
Is it possible to move the fog light projectors to the top outer corner of the opening? It might look better than centered and you can still use the rest of the opening for brake duct or cold air intake.

Thanks guys.

VIP: I tried! The housings are too long and come in contact with the plate that's here. I removed the factory fog light plates and that gave me a couple inches more, but I am stuck keeping them where they are.

I plan to do something like this though (Not my photos):





And more cutoff shots (not mine):

Looks much better than just having the headlights. It's always better when they match so they can flow better.

If the headlights had a housing of some type it would look complete. The idea of having lights that actually light up the road makes them a winner in my book though!

Thanks all. Brackets are DEFINITELY in the works. My friend is busy as heck so we're just kind of waiting for him to get some free time between his Jeep, Cobra, his g/f, father's Road Runner, etc... lol. Busy man.

I've added HID's to the setup.. posting photos to the original projector conversion post I started and bumping it.

Looks cool! I wonder how it would look if you could bring them forward then fiberglass around them and have some plexi over them and have tasteful C6 style headlights? Might look horrible, but they might look awesome too!
