okay so i no on the stock bumper there are basically two cut "here" markings...oval..or circal....im pretty sure someones done it before but i havent found anything, cuase im pretty sure ppl jus buy the lower fog lights or buy the bumpers with em already. BUT wat i wanna do is cut those lower holes out, and take my auxillariy lights out and pop them in the lower ones, that way i get a nice breeze threw my engine bay and still have a lil jdm look to it. my question is...would this work?well anythings possible but would it look ugly? not worth doin?.
(i no im gonna have to extend the wires.) i jus wanted some opinions.

THNKS!

I'm taking it that you have a del Sol with the stock auxiliary lights. Is that correct?

Sly_Samba

Sounds like your talking about a del sol. I don't know of anyone that has done that and the holes you cut are going to have to be bigger than that of the jdm fogs. And taking the aux lights out of there mounting location isn't jdm at all.

That statement killed it for me already. I don't mean to flame, but man people try too hard to be JDM. Who cares. If you wanna move that light to the bottom and have some air flow to your engine, then by all means do it.

hahah no no im srry i dont mean to sound like a total idiot or sumthing...jdm look is kool yea,i just dont like the aux in the front, and it would keep my engine bay cooler if i took those out. i no removing them all together would be the easier and right thing to do, cuase i wanna lose dead weight i dont need. so instead of jus throwin them out i thought i would put them som where they would still work. the whole pourpose of me removin them was to basically keep my engine bay kooler. right now my car is FAR from jdm.

-THE POINT BEING.
jus wondering wat ppl thought of the idea. and if sum kind of cheap way of makin a bracket or housin so it would hold it there.

reddysol

yea its a 94 del sol with stock aux's.

I don't like the idea. I like the auxiliary lights and in the event I ever get a del Sol, it's the front end I want. Even in the event that they don't supply much more light, they'd still help with making the tiny car more noticeable, and thereby safer. So, it's not dead weight.

I think it'd look stupid with gaping holes in the front bumper. The auxiliary lights really add character to the front end.

If you want foglights, buy foglights. If you want the front end without the auxiliary lights, either sell yours and get the type you want, or do a front end conversion.

Removing the lights isn't going to make your engine bay significantly cooler, if at all. In the event that you actually need to cool your engine bay more, there are much better and less ghetto methods.



It looks like it's flaring it's nostrils...

Btw, no idea who owns that car. I have tons of photos of Hondas and other cars and don't remember where most of the photos came from.

Glad the pic helped you out.

Oh, and btw, Honda designed the car so that it cools the engine and engine bay just fine as it is. In the event that you ever have cooling issues, I'm sure there is a way you could cool the engine appropriately without resorting to things like this.
