I'm sure the lights look pretty good but the pictures are AWFUL. The thing is, when you have openings for fog lights already putting lights in the lower part of the grill just doesn't seem right.

Word. I would have cut it and fit it in the lower grill part. Doesn't flow right how it is imo. might have been more work but i think the look would have been worth the extra work.

honestly its look okay, but the main thing thats killing your flow besides that tow hook, is the spaces that the JDM fogs were supposed to be in, its a reason why that area is dark, so fogs can sit in that location. To me your car would look way better with the JDM fogs which can be found, if u try looking. And with the EK fogs, u slim down the front way more, with the way u have the fogs sitting closely together. While if you look at the original location where the fogs were supposed to be at, it would make your car look more wider which would look way better.

The tow hook is killing it. I agree with the above

tow hook off, fogs in the inserts they were made for.

the dummy fog light hole on my driver side is space taken up and being used already for a different Functionality. i like where my lights are due to Function>Form.. im not going for the wider "look" either... why would i want to "look" like everyone else who has the "proper" fog light in the "proper" location?... a car wouldnt be individualistic if it was done the "proper" way... btw.. tow hooks work! ugly as sh*t from the front.. sure... but they are functional... i dont have parts for looks... i have parts that Work.

^ to each his own.

I still have to install my tow hook, but I am going to mount it wayyyy further back so it doesnt stick out past the front of the bumper. I've run into more than a few occasions where it would have helped when I'm at my school's off road test track.

thewrangler99

what's the color temp of low beams?

juicyjuice815

thats what i need to do also.. is adjust the front tow back more so that it doesnt stick out so much...

BTW.... the tow hooks work great when needed to tow a DA Integra 30 miles on the freeway;... not saying that i did it buy hypothetically.. it works

juicyjuice815

low beams are factory 5000k white .... someone correct me if im wrong on the k temp...

juicyjuice815

TL test track?.... what school is this?

thewrangler99

looks like 6000k to me.... factory bulbs are 4300K..... i am currently running on 5000k and loving them

You wanna talk about functionality but the "proper" mount spots for the fog lights are on the ends, you see way more, the light beams are wider meaning you see more of the road. The way your fogs are mounted atm give you a narrower view of the road which is already what the lowbeams are doing for you. The towhook where u put it, idk but i've seen at the tracks wayyyy too many cars with that tow hook that just got yanked straight off. Your stock ones are sufficient enough which is directly under the engine. I like your idea of being individualistic, but there's a way to do it cleanly. The way you're doing it now, seems like it's all over the place to me, an eye sore considering where you decided to put some of your mods.

+1, well said.

This. And there is no excuse for drilling for your license plate where you did. lol, sorry, it just REALLY bothers me.

juicyjuice815

the way that my fogs are Actually mounted gives me a wider view then mounting the fogs on the sides like you think.. my fog lights Don't aim directly in front to give the narrow lighting... angling the fog lights beam outward gives me a MUCH wider OR wide enough visual of the road. ill post better pictures later...




picture is of fog lights and low beams on.. notice the faded beams of light off the left bottom side and lighting up the section of the bush.. stock low beams don't beam to light up that area of visual.. area being the bush, so for me, they've been working pretty darn sufficient, like my tow hooks that allow me to hook with ease instead of bending over on hands and knees to reach the stock hooks, and since ive been hooking up without any yanking off of the tow hook yet.. i guess that my tow hooks are pretty darn sufficient as well


fuctionality is not ment to be pretty, thats where function>form (function OVER form) plays a roll.. the way something Works OVER the way something Looks

Hey man if you like the way your mods are set up then don't trip what they say. Gotta be different right?
Just remember different isn't always good lol.

juicyjuice815

yeah the plate bothers me too; it was just one of those bored anything goes days in which i found to learn from my mistakes. sh^t happens.

Not bad.. but wouldn't you get an even wider beam if you did the same thing where the fogs are normally supposed to go?
And if you mounted it normally, it would give a pretty sufficient wide beam. Angle it just a tiny bit and it'll get wider just as you did when you put the in the center.

i would have done it that way really BUT.... my intake filter takes up that whole space so i literally can't fit the fog light into the driver side dummy whole area.
