Mounting the JDM Fogs PART II: the final install.

See part one in Electrical ( I think)
http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... highlight=

With the fog lights bolted to the cut and prepped bumper beam, you reinstall the bumper cover and lift and put everything back into place on the car.

There is more than enough room to run wiring from the back side of the fogs to wherever your switch is.

( Mine is inside)

( don't mind some of my wiring is still unfinished in the first pic)

There is room underneath the light for up and down adjustment, and the left and right should be close to right on. If not, then a small amount of force should move the light to where it needs to be.

I have the original bumper beam here in the Seattle area if anyone needs one to cut and weld the fogs mounts, while still making the car driveable.

wow all that JDM looks awesome. How do you like the folding mirrors?

Folding mirrors are great, as I have to fit near damn carport posts.

They are very easy to install and wire.

The fogs were easy to wire also.

looks 10x better with the fogs!

did you swap the glass on your mirrors to usdm ones?>

The mirrors have the USDM glass, but due to the angles the mirrors move to, the drivers side is just a bit too far in. The passenger one is perfect though.

D, Nice bracket work!! Do you have any clear pics of them installed without the bumper skin? Also not clear how much of a notch you had to make in the bumper if at all. Can't wait to see them in person and see how they light things up. That will help me make the decision to install mine or go for the brake ducting idea. Good work as usual. Cheers! AW

Cool. I think now that I have that bumper I'm going to need the fog lights. I will probably just get some Hella DEs or Opitlux fogs thoug.

On top of that I'm going to make a light bar similar to the rallitek one, and will probably leave space for four driving lights.

With the skin off, you can only see the lights, not any of the mounting hardware. When I replace the bulbs with the PIAA Ion bulbs, I will take pics of the underside where the fogs mount.

If Adam decides to do this to his fogs, we will better go through the whole process.

And how exactly did you wire the fogs?

dscoobydoo · Post by **dscoobydoo** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 3:57 am

Lights powered off battery line from relay.
