I have a 01 cl and im trying to find the oem gof light kit! I would like to know if anyone knows a website or place where i can order this kit?

 

Unfortunately, there isn't one. Only custom applications.

The CL didn't come with fog lights as a factory option.

 

I think the ones from the 2nd gen Tl should be the same dimensions and therefore a direct fit. Someone correct me if im wrong

 

Not the same. TL's housing is different.

 

01-02 have road lamps, not fog lights. There is no wiring in 03's for them, so you would have to order the 01-02 parts & wire them yourself. However they are a direct fit.

 

I just put in some LED daytime running lights, bright as hell, and they come with all the needed wiring. email me for info. I'll post some pics later...

 

^ Think I'm gonna end up going with a projector setup.

I considered LED's for a while.

Curious about what the set looks like that you installed.

 

been thinking about converting my highbeams to DRLs but im curious to see what Ron has up his sleeve. I like the idea of LEDs.

 

Theyre the LEDs hes already got in the stock road lamp location.

They are bright, but just like the stock road lamps they dont actually light up anything.

 

Yeah I remember seeing those.

 

Oh he mentioned DRLs and included wiring though

 

Hes got an 03, so there needs to be wiring. Unless he had something else done recently that we dont know about (and how dare he hold out on us!!)

Im pretty sure he's talking about these though:

 

Yea, thats what I was thinking. Not just swapping bulbs.

Im curious to know where he tapped into for power.

 

Since theyre DRLs, the proper way is to tap main 12V off the battery, run it to a relay, and have the switched circuit connected to a switched accessory.

 

Well when I had my amp put in, they hooked up the remote line to a thick yellow wire near the driver's fuse box. The amp turned on whenever the key got switched to the "ON" position. I would probably tap it into there, no need for a relay or a switch.

 

Whatever circuit that you tap into may then be overloaded and you can burn up the wires.

 

Nope, those were nice, but they burned out. The new ones I got are these, and they are HIGH quality. I'll be selling them on the RJ site with LED strips and bulbs soon. Don't mind the colors, they come in Super white, Blue, Red, Amber, Yellow, purple and pink. IMO the white is the only good color, but the red might work if you are looking for a devil style theme. They come with their own wiring which is very high quality, but you have to custom mount them into your fog light openings. Takes a bit of creative license. Also requires a professional installation.

Pics on my actual car in a few days when I get the chance.

 

Interesting. Still wont actually throw any useful light though.

And Im guessing those LEDs (the first setup) wasn't heatsinked and in a sealed enclosure? Either that or they had too much power going to them.

 

The whites look good. Where did you tap for power Ron?

LEDs draw little power. I have 24 LEDs tapped into the door lights with no problem.

 

Ron, I'm in for those pics. Very curious to how it would look.

 

where can i buy an oem road lamp assembly? I plan on wiring them into my 03 & getting them retro fitted with the lexus IS300 projectors... does anyone have a DIY so they turn on with low beam and off with high beams? (not trying thread jacked)

 

Wire them up to a switch.

BTW, Im not too sure if the Lexus projector fogs are going to fit. I dont have measurements of them though.

The actual lamp assembly is from the 01-02 model, 03 just had inserts. Retrofitting into the inserts would be better IMO

 

@civicdrivr @nersh7 --->> http://customlightz.com/?p=p_150&sNa...ight-retrofits

they fit into the same gen tl fogs, the place i want to do my work only retro into oem fogs...so inserts are out the question. But they remove the glass from it.

 

The TL fogs are larger then the CL road lamp assemblies.

If they manage to get them to fit, it most likely will be inboard where the road lamp is taller. The problem with that is there a nice piece of sheet metal directly behind it. Im interested to see it done though using the road lamps.

IIRC the TL fog lamps also use glass, while the CL roadlamps are all plastic.

 

I wouldn't mind having those on my car, they look ....tasteful are those being made?

 

^ Think they were just a "one-off" custom thing Ronjon had made.

Don't believe there are any plans on making them.

 

damn I actually think they look pretty good on the car, but I am not too much of a fan of the LED's but in that location they look better than trying to put them in the headlights.

I wonder if he would see me the one off stuff...I may have to ask.
