Who wants these ??????

I just finished my prototype led fogs using all oem parts and connectors. They are plug and play no splicing or removal of bumper. You just need to drill two tiny holes if you want to make them antitheft. Right now im still working on the angle and price. just wanted to see what ya'll thought about them. oh yeah they switch on when your parking lamps are lit. hope ya'll like them...

All pics took with only fogs and parking lamps on..

Wow those look nice! They are purely cosmetic though right? It doesn't look bright enough or is it the camera.

I think they are just purely cosmetic.. because you cant even see the fog light hit the ground...

Yes they are but they are way brighter than you can see on the pics. its just the angle that makes them look brighter or dimmer

I would like to see a set that might fit into the rear reflectors on the lower bumper. Now that would be a nice mod, probably not very functional, but different.

quick question.
where is a good place to purchase superbright LEDs, i give props for your work and they look pretty bright. I am still trying to work on a bike mounted light, do you think these would be bright enough?

Why are they rectangular, unlike the roundish OEM fog lights?

not really sure what you mean by bike mounted so i cant answer that one..
you can buy led's at superbrightleds.com. This is not really a d.i.y. if you have no soldering skills since leds are really sensitive to heat and could be damaged very easily plus you need a bunch of tools such as a table saw, drill press, band saw and some others if you want tem to come out right.

So we'll only be able to buy parts and instructions from you? Can I buy the instructions and get my own parts?

I would like to but its difficult to explain all procedures and i also have a partner and he wants to sell the complete kit (no assembly required, just plug and play). but we are gonna to keep the price under 150.00 + shipping. it costed me more than that to make the prototypes but since I'll be buying materials in bulk it'll come out a lot cheaper and i already have expirience and know the right way of doing it plus i have the proper tools, custom jigs and templates to get a perfect product every time.
