Trans Am LED Fog Light Install (Morimoto Knockoffs)

Got the foglights yesterday. They are definitely not the ones pictured on the Amazon page that I ordered from. The Amazon pictures showed the pigtail at the bottom middle, but the ones I got have the pigtail on the side, taking up part of the fin I need to drill through. There is also a fin that runs horizontally right through the middle. From what I can tell the versions I received are the worst possible ones for this project.
For what it's worth both sets I've owned were purchased through eBay. If you happen to go that way I'd definitely message them and make sure they're just like pictures.

i drilled a mount hole in both side ground down some nuts to fit so i could run a hex bolt into it and mounted it to the bracket. i then created an aluminum bracket that i pop-rivited into the light and used the factory adjuster to move it up and down.

Not that I'm aware of.... But I'd guess the brackets and lights very well could be the same.
Measure your fog OD and if it's 4.5" then likely are the same. If I was you, just to double check I'd remove the 3 push pins on back/bottom of the bumper and shine a light up there and you should be able to see most of the bracket and compare to my pictures.

so my fog lights are different and making it difficult.
by where I drilled the holes there are humps in the housing and I have to grind them down to get the spacer to fit. and I have to trim the base of the nuts that im using so they line up with the hole I drilled. the nuts have a skirt. the cooling fins aren't very deep. I plugged one in and it didn't look that bright. but it was in my garage during the daytime. I still plan to make them fit and in the future do the low beam projectors.

Just wanted to add that I ordered mine on Amazon last week and ended up with the 'difficult' ones as well, so it would seem it's now difficult to get the older type. I'm sure I can make these work though.

Awesome! Really had no plans on doing this mod but for $36 why not? Just ordered a set.

Got mine in the mail today. Bought them from the link two or three posts above (eBay). They are in fact the OLD style that OP used so buy them up while you can.
Looking forward to doing this mod, maybe this weekend!
