Default Anyone interested in a Foglight retro? EG's only

THIS IS APPROVED BY BAULEY

Ive been getting hammered lately about my IS 300 foglight retrofit. people asking how much it would cost for them. So if any of you are interested in them lemme know. I will make some up.


EG foglights. 115 if you dont send yours i will have to order new ones.
IS300 foglights. 230
labor. 150

So is anyone willing to pay that much for the foglight retrofit?

IS300 Foglights retro'd onto Eg brackets mounts up like it was from the factory
Note these are using factory 35w bulbs. im gonna experiment with some high wattage bulbs for different results.

Nope, and also its important to note:

The IS300 has a clear plastic lense going over the entire little housing of the foglight, these do not, all I see is an exposed lense that will easily chip if hit by a rock or peice of debris at highway speeds.

The JDM eg's are just regular halogen lights in a regular housings.

The IS 300 is a projector. you get about 10x or more light out of the IS 300 projector.

Not to be a noob or anything, but what makes the IS 300 foglamps so special care to give me a description. I just found it interesting how they have such a high output.

IS300's are actual projectors and they project the light.

while the EG's are just a basic halogen setup.
