Yeah, just finished installing the factory fog lights, what a breeze! I was worried about cutting the grill, but it came out pretty damn good. Though the edges where I cut were rough. But when the fog lights are in, you can't see the rough edges! Can't wait till its dark, gotta see how much they help out.

 

Congrats.

Once you know whats envolved in modding you'll never pay for anything again.

 

Yeah, the factory fogs are made super easy to install!!

They help out a lot at night. For me at least.

 

Congrats!

I took a fine file to the edges of the cut plastic, and it looks great!

Enjoy!


BTW: I put in PIAA Extreme White H3 bulbs in my OEM flog lights, and they really helped with illumination (expecially since I have HIDs).

 

Thanks guys! Just went out to check out the fogs. They definately help with close up and to the sides. As soon as I can actually win one of those auctions for an Catz HID set on ebay, I'll be putting those in. I plan on putting in some Ion Yellow PIAA's in the fogs after that. Hopefully it'll kinda look like the light setup on the Lexus's where they have hid's with bright yellow fogs.

 

Any ideas where and for how much I can find a set of factory fogs for my 97 2.2?

 

yea, i got a 2.2 and i was also wondering about fog lights. where can u get them

does anyone have instructions on how to put them in, mounting them and wiring them or whatever else u have to do cuz i got no idea. thanks

 

I got mine from Ebay, and they came with the instructions

 

What kind of skills or experience should one have before trying to install factory fog lights?

Do you need specialize electrician equip. like voltage testers and wire splicers, etc?

How did you mount the on/off switch? Does it mount on the "extra-space" on the dash is if it were factory installed...like the hazard light button?

 

I bought a small hack saw from walmart for 3 bucks, and I used one 10mm wrench. As far as what kinda skills do you need to install the factory fogs, I would say there are only two skills needed to do the install. 1. Be able to read and understand the instructions. 2. Be able to use a hack saw on the bumper grill on your car. I don't know why it didn't just come with that part gone, it'd make installing the fogs even easier. The factory switch came with the fogs, and it installs in the empty space opposite of the heat warmer seats. It looks factory(duh!?!), and quite slick.

 

I think it's pretty easy to install. I just wanted the factory in-dash switch, so I got the kit and put on aftermarket lights. Other then taking the console off with a screwdriver and screwing the aftermarket fogs to the bumper, there were no other tools.

 

that's the same exact setup i'm going to do, piaa h3 fogs, how long did it take you to install the foglights? i'm headin back to san jose this weekend, so maybe if u got time we can meet up, check out your fogs, got any pics?

 

Hey cool, I'm gonna be in town sunday night or monday, we can meet up on monday or tuesday at school. You pick the place.
