if they are oem you will see the watts and type on the fog lights housing.

 

where were they installed?

 

I bought the car with them installed,

I had the same problem so i did this

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.

holy crap, ecu guy, thats awesome when my bulbs go out im doing that, it looks really really good. do you have a diy for that somewhere??

 

not as easy as it looks..lol i was gonna do a write up but i had soo much trial and error on it that i got lost in it..lol

 

crap, so how long did it take you?

sorry for the quazi-thread jack.

 

ya sorry for ****** up the thread.

with total time of cutting and fitting and getting the aim corrected cause once the aim is set it cant be adjusted. it took around 14-16 hours.

 

i technically dont consider it a thread jack since it is slight guidance on how to make his lights brighter.

14 hours is a lot. did you use washers to aim? any pointers to save time/effort?

 

Nope everything is molded onto the brackets. other brackets were made and added on and just kept test fitting and aiming. til i got it perfect. then i Jb welded everything in place.

 

Hi SPOON LS,

I recommend you stay with a 55 watt or 85 watt bulb on your stock wiring, You can always step up to a 120 watt bulb with the correct lamps and harness to handle the power! PIAA has all different types of bulbs from 55 watt to 120 watt.

Let me know if I can help you out with anything else!! - Brock

 

hey look at my signature.

Dammm JDMlyfestyle 14-16 hours. Dammm.

Using the lamin-x is a easy way and it take less time to complete it compare to cutting the bumper.
