View Full Version : Opinion on PIAA DENO 3 Fogs

So, as many of you already know, I have the Autobahn front and sides.
Unfortunately, I had to get rid of my OEM fog lights because they simply look butt ugly on the Autobahn...

Now, I want to go and add fog lights on there but I'm not so sure as to how clean it will look. I want something similar to the Audi R8's lights where it's just a strip, the only exception is that I want it as fogs. Someone already did this to their MS-kit and it looks stunningly beautiful. Here's an example:

Like mentioned before, I do not have the MS kit, I have the Autobahn kit.







Now, I am wondering if this will look good with the Autobahn.

Dimension: 6"(L) x 1 1/4"(H) x 1 7/8"(W)

This is my Autobahn kit:

If anyone have info on lights similar to the one that CKZ have on his 8 then please shine some info. I do not want a strip, I want something encased in a housing.
Please help me make a decision. Thank you for your comment and opinions. :)

I said yes, but I think that you should go for the Deno6. It's new, just came out and may be hard to find (I could only find good pics of the blue ones, but they come in white too). Check them out:

You can order these from http://www.car-gym.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=1267

I've ordered from them before, they are located in Hong Kong I think and shipping takes a few weeks, but they are reliable. I only see the blue version on their site, but you might contact them and see if they can get the white version.

Ummm....They look real cool, but you know they're rice. I know you n your not rice so I'll like them on your 8, but you will get shit from the older rotarys. Just being honest John.

Ok, I'm planning on ordering the Deno6 in white on Monday.

So... I still don't know if it'll look rice or not... give me more opinions guys!

Just do it. Only the rice nazis are going to think this is rice, and those are the same people that think body kits are rice... and you have a body kit. If done right I think it could look really cool.

I say go for it, try something different. What's the worst that can happen??? Maybe they'll look silly, but you'll never know until you try.

Have you thought about how you are going to mount these?

The one on CKZ' car is not in a casing like Renesis said, it's just a strip of LED. Seen it in person, and it looks great!

I like em, white would be better than a blueish tint if possible...

And who cares if others deem it rice/non rice, if you like it, get it, stop caring what people think so much! :D

LOL, your poll choices crack me up.

Go for it. I think would look good if mounted properly. The Deno6 9 led would be best as it's longer. I would want something that runs most of the length of the opening.

when are blue lights on a car illegal? just wondering coz these come in blue. i was thinking this would be a great alternative for the audi foglights for the ATH front bumper.

EDIT: They're not in the US market yet so that's why they're not listed on the US PIAA site.

Any Pics? I really would like to do this as well but would like to see how they fit first since your bumper has a similar style oil cooler duct like mine.

so any pictures anyone?

My lights have yet to come in. im not sure how i will wire them through my grill.

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk125/mtltr450/car/inside2.jpg

I could cut the wires and run it through the grill then splice. :uhh:
I should have just waited but ive been waiting for like a month already. when i install I will post pics.

NgoRX8
08-25-2008, 03:13 PM
ouch, its all epoxied on i see. if you cut the wires, solder them back together and heat sink over them, splicing isn't a good idea because it will be outside exposed to the elements.
