View Full Version : Opinion on PIAA DENO 3 Fogs
Spinning Sushi 06-02-2008, 07:13 AM 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.

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. :)

SideOfBacon 06-02-2008, 11:03 AM niiiice fogs.
Aipex8 06-02-2008, 11:56 AM 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:

Aipex8 06-02-2008, 11:59 AM Here's a pic of the box of the white (they are 8.5" long):

Aipex8 06-02-2008, 12:11 PM 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.
Qitech 06-02-2008, 05:17 PM 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.
Spinning Sushi 06-02-2008, 09:55 PM Aipex, the Deno9's are hot!
Qitech, that's what the poll is for. :)
Revolution Rotary 06-03-2008, 12:23 AM i dont really like the autobahn kit very much but with those fog lights it will look alot better..i say go for the blue ones over the white
BigRed 06-03-2008, 01:42 AM no, sorry Renesis! not my style and it seems very hard to pull it off CORRECTLY
dozer 06-03-2008, 10:52 AM haters!!!!!....johns asian he needs RICE!!!!!!....wheres my bowl!
Spinning Sushi 06-06-2008, 02:45 AM 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!
Qitech 06-06-2008, 03:27 AM Atilla didn't vote or comment on this thread so that should tell u something too =)
Aipex8 06-06-2008, 12:27 PM 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.
Jedi54 06-06-2008, 12:33 PM 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?
Razz1 06-06-2008, 11:41 PM They are ok.
N rider89 06-06-2008, 11:46 PM it might be a little rice but i still like it.
swoope 06-06-2008, 11:50 PM i like anything that increases oil cooling.. and they look good.
beers :beer:
ShAdOwFoX 06-08-2008, 09:17 PM reminds me of the guy who installed those audi s4 lights on his rx8 that had the ath kit (i think thats what its called)
Jedi54 06-08-2008, 10:11 PM do it, do it!
jaii13 06-08-2008, 10:34 PM 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!
Camel8 06-08-2008, 11:21 PM 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
JRichter 06-09-2008, 06:25 PM 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.
laythor 06-09-2008, 07:16 PM I like the look.. hate the price.
ShAdOwFoX 06-09-2008, 09:54 PM just wondering..........wouldn't a gay homo make him straight? lol
Spinning Sushi 06-09-2008, 10:10 PM Ok, I just ordered the DENO6 fogs like... 5 minutes ago.
I'll take pictures of them once it arrives. :)
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.
Spinning Sushi 06-09-2008, 10:32 PM I ordered them in all white. :)
Aipex8 06-10-2008, 03:02 AM Can't wait to see them! Where did you order them from?
Renesis07 06-10-2008, 01:39 PM wow, those should fit on the stock bumper right? Im definatly doing that! Taking my factory foglights off and put those on.
Spinning Sushi 06-14-2008, 05:04 AM Can't wait to see them! Where did you order them from?
ebay :)
EDIT: They're not in the US market yet so that's why they're not listed on the US PIAA site.
Nopstnz8 06-27-2008, 04:01 PM 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.
Jedi54 06-27-2008, 04:29 PM are we there yet???
Camel8 06-28-2008, 02:19 AM Picturespicturespictures!
I always decided that i wanted to keep my stock fogs, but the more i look at them, the more boring i think they are!
Spinning Sushi 06-28-2008, 02:23 AM It's taking a while but it should arrive by Monday. It's coming all the way from Hong Kong. :)
Aipex8 07-02-2008, 02:49 PM Did you get these yet? I wanna see!!
Nopstnz8 07-02-2008, 04:33 PM Did you get these yet? I wanna see!!
+1 to that!
Spinning Sushi 07-02-2008, 07:55 PM Sorry for the super late update. I got them but I have not put them on my car yet.
I've been really busy, this also explains my absence on this board. :)
Jedi54 07-03-2008, 05:13 PM are we there yet?
2tone 07-03-2008, 07:53 PM can't wait to see the pics!!! i got a stock fog light bulb out and if these look good, it's awwwwwfully tempting!!
laythor 07-03-2008, 07:54 PM Don't make me turn this board around Jedi!
PBlue 07-14-2008, 09:18 AM post pics already... damn
Nopstnz8 07-14-2008, 11:29 AM Yeah what's taking so long?
henrijr 07-14-2008, 12:32 PM waiting 2!!!

Nopstnz8 07-17-2008, 02:24 AM Hurry up and get some pics it has been too long of a wait already. :banghead:
Aipex8 07-28-2008, 07:10 PM Still no pics?

Jedi54 07-29-2008, 11:17 AM are we there yet?
I'm calling NALIN on this thread!!!
NgoRX8 07-29-2008, 02:26 PM interesting... lol. i have never used the foglights on my car... 2nd day with the car, the kit went on and the foglights went off. haha
Jedi54 08-23-2008, 03:30 PM are we there yet?
(hoping you don't trade the bumpre and finish up this project)
Razz1 08-23-2008, 03:38 PM Do go for it!
NgoRX8 08-23-2008, 03:43 PM haha, you guys must be anxious.
Razz1 08-23-2008, 03:54 PM Sure are, we want to make fun of his new jewelry!
tunerwannab 08-23-2008, 04:05 PM I ordered the deno 6 as well. My autobahn kit should be finished on monday. I should have waited for the lights to come in but oh well. I really want to see how they look. If I get them on with pics first then consider this thread JACKED:lol: jk
NgoRX8 08-23-2008, 04:06 PM interesting. considering Renesis SE3P is trying to sell his front, you may beat him too it.
tunerwannab 08-23-2008, 04:51 PM interesting. considering Renesis SE3P is trying to sell his front, you may beat him too it.
Thats true but i was hoping SE3P would give up and install those lights so I could see them.
Zelse 08-23-2008, 05:34 PM Puttin me to sleep here.. still waiting like what.. 3 months?
Jedi54 08-23-2008, 06:24 PM renesise3p better not sell his bumper
Razz1 08-23-2008, 10:21 PM He sold it.
swoope 08-23-2008, 10:24 PM i would buy the fogs. i like the idea. you people in cali go through body parts fast! :)
beers :beer:
Jedi54 08-23-2008, 11:58 PM too many parts, too little time..
NgoRX8 08-24-2008, 12:12 AM haha... time. the only thing standing between me and mods.
well... ok money does play a lil influence as well.. but that's a time thing too.
Eight 08-24-2008, 11:48 PM so any pictures anyone?
tunerwannab 08-25-2008, 12:39 AM 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.
kainis2k 03-03-2009, 03:06 AM pics never came?...
tunerwannab 03-04-2009, 01:11 AM pics never came?...
Lights never came and the shop closed. Drove by one day and they were totally done. I got mazported.
kainis2k 03-04-2009, 01:40 AM That sucks
risky business 03-04-2009, 01:45 AM awe....
