Well im hoping to be able to produce these new fogs for all our members once I get them made and tested then I can paint match them as well but it may be a month or so before I can produce the first pair since I have a major lack of funds at the moment. I do still have a couple sets of fogs laying around and one thats cut to install projectors but they are the first run so I would have to do some cleaning up on them

Do you already have some brackets made for the fogs? Even on my bumper I still had too trim the slot to fit it in

They are actually molded into the bumper skin I believe

Ran out and checked mine real quick. +1 for molded bumper mount. I guess if the ones you found online come with brackets, you probably just have to attach them to the recessed section somehow, and cut out the plastic grille slits. :undecided:

Ohh okay, well it wouldn't be too difficult to figure it out, especially if the ones I saw had brackets. Just a matter of cutting the slits and drilling holes for the bracket mounts

That's if the recess is deep enough. If it's not, you'll have to get creative lol.

Btw, the slit on the bottom is mainly for aiming, if you get true OEM with the star bolt adjuster, you'll probably end up like me and just take it out and use pliers to aim it. Star bolt = pita. Aftermarket fogs have Phillips adjusters on them though.

I know that there is one that Spyder (i believe) makes, same specs as OE one, just looks like it has a lot clearer of a lenses & housing. I don't remember what I kind of adjust it has

How much would you need to break even Ryan?

I'm sure someone would buy them on here if you posted them up for sale. I'd like to experiment with projectors now after seeing your work and now seeing MAY03LT in the process of doing-so
