Nice! So now a question. That looks like a single filament bulb. If you're going to mate it up with the running AND brake lights, won't you need a dual filament bulb? One filament illuminated with the running lights, and one with the brakes... ?

I used two bulbs -- I can't find any dual filaments bulb holder that will fit. Was too embarrass to took the ghetto picture (The secondary bulbs was tied by wired to the holding metal piece) :D Anyway, my next upgrade will be using 168/194 bulbs which mean I might need to pay visit to the junkyard :p and I have to worry about water getting in there. Prior to that, I was thinking about building a circuit to controll the brightness, but it was too much work.
With some luck I might be able to get the picture with it on tonight.

Remove the rubbers and pass the wire through. It's easier to pass the wire through and pull it our via the license plate light opening then pass the wire down from that license plate light hold. When done install back the rubbers to protect the wire. . .

Hook up the wire to the fog light . . . For the EOM fog light, there is bracket which will fit in those poles with self tapping screw I believe.

I decide to tap to the break & running light, so I de-pin the left break light harness and solder the wire to those pin. . .

Guess the .avi file didn't work due to its size. Anyway, here is a peak at the method mounting I use. As you can see, I use two 5w bulbs on the two side and a 8W bulb in the middle. So there you have it, for what it worth I spent less than $50 
Around $10 for the bulbs and holders and reflectors which I pickup from pepboy. A piece of aluminum which I have left from last time I made an intercooler probably cost < $5, plus some MIG welding with my broken gas regulator which you can see the horrible aluminum welding. Plus a small bottle of all purpose metal polish compound for around $25 and some sweating into those aluminum polishing and installation which is priceless 
Whether it come out good or bad, I do find myself enjoying the work and finding little interesting thing how the car was made.
