I want them badly but cannot find reliable info on if there is damage going to be done to the way the tl breathes yet by adding the lower fogs. someone has got to have a replacement part for those plastic grill inserts by now I would think. hope. arggghhhh.

 

When I had my bumper off, if the fogs go in those lower corner grill spots, it shouldn't have any affect on airflow to the radiator or the intake box.

 

i think whoever does get lower fogs is going to need them to get custom made.

 

and provide pics and prices

 

if you can wait a couple of weeks, that weekend i'll go to a shop and have them try and custom build me something so that fogs will fit in there.

 

Adam,

Where is your car now? Gonna get another brand new one with the same color?


Congratulations. "No-Life" soon... 992

 

yea. i'm gonna trade in the bimmer, pocket the money from insurance, and buy a ABP and i think quartz this time.

i know. no life, here i come!

 

The 2-1/2" x 6" Xenarc HID X1010's ($299 incl freight at Autobarn.com ) will fit perfect if you cut the grilles. They require a 3” X 6-1/2” X 5” space for install.



Install shouldn't be too hard if you remove the bumper as in a CAI install. You can trim the grills for a OEM look and they come with wireless switching so you don't have to go through the firewall. Or you could run a relay and switch them via the OEM driving lights.

The only problem I see with installing lower fogs in the lower grilles is the angle of the nose. With the headlights they're stepped, but fogs aren't so either the would stick way out on outside and flush on the inside or vice versa.

They may look goofy.
