I have a whole entire issue with mounting these... I have a intercooler sitting in the front bumper, and actually had to cut back part of the fog light openings to get it to fit. So my lights are going to be pushed forward, closer to the front of the bumper, and I need to figure out how to mount them since there really isn't anything I can attach them to.
As you can see, they will almost sit flush to the front bumper...
Yeah you're going to have to have like some weird shaped kind of bracket that mounts to something behind/beside that thing. Yikes.
Also, wait till you guys see what my dad rigged up. I sent him home with one of the lights and brackets last night so he could think about it. This morning he showed me real quick and it's hideous lol. I told him I would post it on here so people could laugh, but nobody will want to reproduce it.

Love your car....looks amazing and what a set up. So jealous!!! Yeah you would have to really think of something slick to do....thing is, I love yours without the fogs in because of the intercooler.

Yes post them up. Just curious to see what they look like!
What do you guys think of these lights btw...I have to order the new set because of the screw up of the old ones. Let me know what you think. Im curious to see what Infinite thinks!!!
Those look pretty close to what you had before, just a different brand? Just my thoughts, but since you have to order another set you should try and find a set like I used.....if anything, mainly for the additional heatsink for easier mounting. I'll be glad to help look if you'd like.
Those are exactly like mine, except mine are black. The cord comes off in the same location and heat sink is the same. Make sure cord is on the bottom for flat cutoff on top

Its your car of course, but X2 on leaving it as is. Having the lights flush will look pretty odd. Gorgeous car
I havent had a chance to finish my brackets but they're coming along well now. I made one boo-boo and somehow drilled one hole a few MM lower on my OEM bracket but thankfully when the bolts are snugged down, the light sits exactly as it should. Hopefully I can finish all the bracketry/ drilling tomorrow and have them ready for paint
Check out this monstrosity. The 2 bolts in the middle of the bracket hold it just fine horizontally. All the rest of this crap is for vertical adjustment/locking in place. My dad is doing this to the other one and I'll install in a day or 2 and be able to adjust vertically on the car if needed.
Ummmm... Well that IS unique and took some time to do it. Is it functional and work as intended?
Lol yes, it does exactly what it should. Normally I'd never put something like that on my car, but it's hidden...soooo I guess it's ok, but I'm having a hard time accepting it

Id appreciate that! I think you said you got yours off of ebay right? Yeah the ones I linked are similar but they have the halo running lights which is sort of neat but I don't know if I want that on my TA after thinking about it for a night. But I want to find ones different from the ones I put on. The heatsink in the back was very hard to work with.

Ill remember that. You know, LOL, the cord was on the bottom of mine too

Woah, I can see why you're about that
I spent a nice 7 hours working on these today, so far I have about 8-9 hours wrapped up in this project and I'm so close to the finish line
Will test tomorrow and post pics, very happy with the bracket setup so far.
Dude this was an awesome idea! I just ordered mine off of an online auction website , $60 shipped. I noticed the ones I ordered are a bit different-looking and are supposed to be a "newer version that is 2x brighter". I doubt that is true (unless they catch on fire, haha), but I'll let you guys know.

eBay. They are shipping from China, so I'm not holding my breath too much on quality and 2x brightness, haha. But the same exact ones were $90 from the US, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Most are probably made in China and shipped here anyway. Item location doesn't really mean anything cuz you can set yours to whatever you want. Hope they work and don't take months to arrive!
