I was thinking about taking out the road lamps on my 01 cl-s and putting in some piaa driving lamps. Has anyone done that? I was thinking of keeping the stock housing and trying to cut it to fit these inside

Would that look bad? Would it melt anything? Would it fit? I really want to put some piaa's on my car, but I want them to be as hidden as possible. I saw an eclipse spyder in superstreet or one of those mags where they put actual piaa lamps inside of the headlight housing, I was thinking I could do the same in the road lamps.

Anybody who has done anything similar, or put any kind of aftermarket fog lights or driving lamps, I would love to hear your opinion (or see pics).

thanks

Sup hommie....
I like your idea, but I don't think it would fit inside the housing. That would be tight as hell if it did. And even if it did, i believe that the road lamps are plastic and would melt. Your better off taking the road lamps out and putting those in plase of them. Ask ST2000, he did a bomb job on his. I hope this helps.

yeah the melting was my main concern...I will talk to st2000...thanks for the info.

I'm using the PIAA 001's. They fit nicely in the black housings on the 6 speed.

I like the CATZ driving lights. Metal housing and bright as hell. They throw a long driving pattern.

BEETROOT

the smaller the better, since I am going to try to fit them in the stock road lamp housing...there are some by Hella...micros I think they are called...maybe I will look into those.

What about if I took out the road lamps completely and fit the new lamps into the housing from an 03...that could work...

fuzzy- do you have a pic?
