Cool T/A Fog Light How To Thread Teaser

Ok, I've pretty much finished up my fog light mod. I took out the stock 35w units and I've put in 100w KC Lites units. While I was at it I also swapped in some 8K HIDs to match my headlights. All I have left to do is a little tweaking, mainly just trimming my mounts and aiming the lights. I should have a How-To thread done in about a week.

I know I should probably be beaten with a rubber hose for letting my WS.6 get this dirty but between my full time job, college and modding my car I don't have much spare time.

Stock 35w housings.



KC 100w housings.



KC housing and aluminum bracket.



Both KC Lites installed.



Headlights and Fog Lights on, the fog lights still need to be aimed properly.

I needed to finish up the fog light mod before I go down to get the tint! I can't get your hopes up to see the lights and then disappoint!

The lights were $58 each from Summit. They take H1 bulbs so if you already have HIDs in your fog lights you would only have to order up some H1 HID replacement bulbs and you'd be set.

I made the brackets. I know the welds may look a little rough, I haven't welded aluminum in a long time!
