The fogs don't even work properly. They are coming out soon to be replaced by round mini projectors most likely.
Why put priority on looks over safety? I drive extremely dark back country roads almost daily. No street lights and not many houses. I needed these lights more than anything else on the car at the moment. That's why I chose 'em![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
The bumper, a driver side door power window/power lock cluster, the dash, front bumper cover and rear bumper cover are being replaced from a buddies parts car of the exact specs as mine.

They are rare and hard to find.
Check out the threads for some leads.
Or check the sales section here.
Or check ebay, but watch out for fakes.
If I remember correctly its a Halogen 894, but people have used re-based HID kits with success (check out the pics).

I'm still working on the bracket for the headlights and fogs now. But my t-top conversion has priority over anything at the moment

Thanks, I just saw it. I need to cut the cut-off shields and level them out a bit. Did I mention my HID kit came with a broken bulb piece? The mount portion of it had busted either while being packaged or when it shipped. I was kinda pissed as I had installed the ballasts, igniters, etc. on both sides. Then did the bulbs in the housings.
I also noticed one of the housings was busted .. from a rock or something maybe? It was just maybe a 1"x.25" piece that was pushed in, so I got some super glue and JB weld and fixed it so I could re-seal the housing. I was wondering why it was fogging up!
So hopefully once I get the bulb back I'll be good.
I wish I had purchased a 4300k kit, but I was going on reputation of the company.. ugh. I did put a piece of white paper in front of it (the police test lol) and the paper remained white. So that's good, it's really not that blue at all... though the photos suggest otherwise.
