Fog lights..................

Is there any for the 03 CL-S that will fill the black vent in the bumper.? What is everyone doing about the empty black space?

In the future, you may want to do a search. I posted an earlier instruction "How to install 2002 CLS fogs on 2003 CLS". I hope this helps.

You see, Iam not intrested in the 2002 CL-S fog because they are not real fogs, its road lamps that dont do jack for the car light illumination. Second of all I did not ask for the CL fogs, asked about aftermarket. So I would appreciate some more courtesy and less tone in your reply. Also, you should not have waisted your time responding if it bother you so much to help. Thanks anyways.

For now I bought some used 01 roadlamps and stuck them in there, cause it looks bare knowing there was a lamp there in 01-02. Maybe the housing could be modified to handle more heat and a real fog lamp? Don't know. I just think for now, it looks better with the hole filled up, mine are not hooked up into power.

As liquid_x stated, I didn't mean any type of tone. I was trying to be helpful. Also, there was nothing in your original post that indicated that you were looking for aftermarket lights.

However, I would have to differ with you. With PIAA 19224 bulbs, "running lights" do light up the road between the front bumper and where the headlights are focused on the road. But you're right they aren't "fog lights". But alot of people mistakenly refer to them as fogs, even if there not.

hella micros are the way to go IMO... small and high output. you can design some sort of grill around them or something.

Any other suggestions on this, maybe thinner ones. Perhaps someone may be able to suggest a good web site with a large selection.
Thanks

I have Hella xenon micro de foglights in my 2002cls. They are mounted medial to the driving lights in the outer most grill space. Kinda pricey but they are HID and are almost bright enough to drive with by themselves. I used a TL foglight switch in the blank space next to the cruise control.

This looks nice. What are the best fogs/bulbs to go with stock headlights? If you guys got the model numbers and where to buy, would also be appreciated.

Thanks
