Does AEM CAI fit with fog lights on an 02?

i've heard that the AEM CAI does not fit if you have the factory fog lights on an 2002 TL type S. Is this true? have any of you guys intalled the CAI on a car with the factory fog lights?

If the factory fog lights do get in the way, do they also get in the way of the comptech ice box?

I had to cut off about 5 inches of piping on the AEM CAI on my '03 TL-S... which is virtually the same as '02. The foglight harness cuts room for the filter, requiring shortening the length of the pipe.

I didn't have to do anything for my AEM. It fitted perfectly flush. Maybe it really depends on the batch?

02 TL-S. I had to cut the black rubber on the filter. I did not want to cut the pipe unless it was for a bypass. I took off about 5"

What the hell? What kind of a filter did you get? Mine only has like 3 inches of a lip on the filter, which is used to hold it on the pipe.
