Default How to mount fogs on a TA with a fmic

Just looking for some ideas on how you guys have done it. I'm going to drill the bottom of each opening to feed the connection through, just haven't figured out a good way to mount the lights. Right now the openings are cut flush with the intercooler. Any ideas?

If you REALLY want to know how i did mine......keep it on the down low....but i used strips of velcro and cut the brackets. They look better with the foglights in and take 5 secs per side to ****** out at the track for airflow. Dont tell anyone though as I am sure they will laugh at what i have done

I think thats a great idea, I didn't even think about removal for track use. That's really smart actually, I'm going to try and rig up the same thing. Are yours functional or just for looks?

looks only...no way to use the plugs as they sit flush against the I/c. I never used mine but I prefer the look of them vs 2 open holes. I may snap some pics tonight

I modified the brackets. They protrude out a little farther in the holes and I had to cut the plastic a little at the back of the hole.

Some black chrome screen would look nice in there if you don't mind giving up your fogs. Maybe paint the FMIC black for a stealth look as well... On a black car that would look mean.
