Glad you're liking them Chr1s! What type of bulb did you put in the clear corners?

Here's a picture of mine installed as well:

Cheapo LED's from autolumination.com. When they burn out I'm gonna go with velocity LED's.

Do you have a better source for LED's?

I originally purchased the super white H11 blubs from autolumination and they were the cheapests pieces of crap I've ever seen. They didn't even fit in my housing. I ended up having to shave the tips to get it to fit. The Hoen's fit perfect with no issues at all.

I also have had hit or miss experiences with autolumination. Any LED recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Try Velocity LED's, they seem to be higher quality from the get-go. They are more expensive though.

Yes I highly reccomend these bulbs. FYI, before installation, make sure you clean the bulbs off with rubbing alchohol first. This will lengthen the life of the bulb.

that DIY will allow you to turn the foglights on whenever you wish, which is a perfectly legit way to do it and how most of the people have done it on this site.

I wired mine up slightly different in that I must have my parking lights on to have my fog lights on. I did this to protect myself from accidentally leaving the fog lights on and ending up with a dead battery.
