99-01 Projector Fogs w/ 3000k
Had audi tt headlight sitting around for a while and decided to use the projectors from it to make some fog lights. Snapped these pics quickly sorry if theyre not the best.
^^^car was sitting on a slightly uphill slope, they dont actually aim that high
And this is the only pic i have so far of how they look in the bumper. Still mocking it up
I'm very happy with how they turned out. Let me know what you think!

Ha thanks. I made the cluster using Phee's diy.
Only have one picture of the back and it's not a good one but i'll post it anyway. I mounted the projector on a piece of lexan and then screwed the lexan piece onto the bumper. Hard to see it all because i was adjusting the height of the beams at the time. Sorry
i'll see if i can get a hold of some other pics of the projector mounted on the lexan piece.
The picture shows only the projector, i later covered the projector using the high beam housing/reflector (not sure what it's called) from the headlight and sealed everything up with rubber tape and silicone.

Thanks for the comments! Time it took? It took a WHILE . It was a trial and error process. Everything was angled weird on the bumper so i had to keep redoing some things. I was going to make a diy on it but with the parts that i used being so specific i figured it wouldnt be very beneficial. And it would have been very hard to describe everything as well.
The time and frustration was worth it in the end. I have projector fogs

Mine are yellow-er IMO. (And a much easier install 
)
Honestly, these pics don't do it justice they have a great beam even without shrouds. They look sexy on the highway too IMO. Took you long enough though lol.

Do you have HID's or yellow halogen bulbs? yellow halogen bulbs appear more yellow, but the HID output is higher.

No I don't have yellow halogen bulbs and yes I know HID output is higher... I have ES300 Projector fogs that have yellow glass lenses with a 5000k HID kit I had laying around. They will be even yellow-er once I get around to ordering some 3000k bulbs.

Srb, you didn't have a pic of the cut-off... So I uploaded the one from my phone.
Just as a reference, the trashcan was probably less than 5ft away? (If I can remember correctly)

Its good to see the 99-01 having custom fogs. I wish they made them stock back then because I could never understood how the first gen TL's had fogs in the headlights themselves iirc!
02-03 mods on fogs was getting somewhat stale. But again good to see 99-01 with custom fogs! This is neat, especially with projectors. The cut-off line is awesome!

I'll try to get more pictures sent to me to give you an idea of how theyre mounted. Cutting the subframe was still necessary in case anyones wondering.
I used two tt headlights. I used the smaller projector from each light which i think was just used as the DRLs. I had one free headlight laying around which was like new and i bought another from a salvage yard for 20 bucks (plus 15 for shipping).
If your wanting to do it in your cl like changbanger, his set up was pretty easy to fit. He scored some jdm ES300 projector fogs that were already housed and pretty cheap from a member on here. If youre interested in more details on his install contact him.

What HID kit are you using? 5k I know but brand wise?
Seems to be a lot of choices some better then others I assume
As far as wiring up, u spliced the bulbs to the kit and the kit to the switch/power or did you tap into side markers etc?
Looks legit and factory

about your wiring. I would use a relay harness to draw power directly from the battery and wire up a fog light button to the cabin so you can control it. I wouldn't try and draw all that power from the sidemarkers 
Unless you meant trigger wire from sidemarker which would make the fogs turn on with the sidemarkers.
