These are expensive but nice. The great thing about these is they are dual beam so they give you fog light with your low beams, and then switch to a driving light to compliment your high beams. You guys think that PIAA is worth the money (if you've got it, which I don't lol)?

Can I see more pics of the car in daylight without the lights on? Do these come with the brackets too? I just finished my LS1 front end conversion and need brackets and foglights.

^Black94Z28, just looked for a site that sells stockers for ya.. when you buy stock fogs then they come with the brackets but if you get the hellas then you need to have the stock brackets on you
you can see the brackets on these stockers..
http://www.am-autoparts.com/AM/Fog-L...=google_baseSF

heres the hella micro de's notice the different bracket.. you have to hook the stock bracket in its place.
unless you wanna rig it your own way..

Mounting the stock brackets on the Hellas wasn't too difficult. I did have to bend the bracket just a tad so the fog light wasn't pointed down too much.

Looks almost like stock.

Nicely done.

Is there a spring in the stock hardware that lets you adjust the fogs from left to right?

No the only spring on the assembly itself is the one that adjusts it up and down. The ones on my finacee's car has fogs but mine didn't so I've messed with hers and if you put everything back the way they were, there pretty much fine as far as left to right or atleast hers was or I didn't mess with em enough to really figure it out cause when the car was bought the car looked damn good till you got under the car and see the bottom of parts underneath the hood so i took the fogs out and gave them a good cleaning.
