Default Projector fog light housings in TA?

Anyone put any projector fog lights in their TA?

I want to throw some HID's on and want to do fogs and low beams, the high beams will get some too eventually.

Anyone put projectors in their fog location?

I did some searching and all I can find are a few threads on Hella 90mm projectors and one thread on some other brand aftermarket projector (name not mentioned in thread).

I updated the Firebird Fog Light section of the Lighting FAQ to include the threads:

This looks like the same one, but with a protective front glass and plastic shroud. I wonder about the output though and if they will fit with that shroud. That shroud doesn't look all that sealed either. You may have to seal it to keep out water.

ive also wanted to find a pair to maybe use as driving lights (i know its illegal since they arent high enough and other stuff) but maybe this could be a solution for bls to figure out and hopefully he will use something that works with 880 bulbs since that what most of us have now

No mention of my NV-362W swap for Formulas still? I'm disappointed.

I put HID's in my low beams and fog lights. Couldn't be happier. I can see soooo much better at night and it looks alot cleaner than that stock garbage. Went with 6000k for both. Used the LMC truck lenses and got the HID's from DDM Tuning.

Yeh, I've got some driving lights with HID's, but I'm scattering light all over the place.

Correct. The Cyber White fog lights in that thread are not projectors.

Are the LMC truck lenses projectors?

Can't really find anything. I'd say it'd have to be one of those adventurous projects that you just stick-your-neck-out and blow-a-bunch-of-cash-on-until-you-get-it-right type projects.

Pilot makes something that might work using the writeup for Trans Am NV-362W's in the FAQ... It looks like a standard halogen lens but they shaped the reflectors light output so that it has a sharper cutoff (LIKE a projector): PL-203W
http://www.pilotautomotive.com/Produ...roductID=27143
Can't imagine how close the light output would actually be though or if it would be any better than using a stock fog light housing.
