Default Fog Light Retro

I used some old Lexus fog with Xenondepot 4300k D2S kit.

Drivers side was a tight squeeze witht he CAI filter there.

The grey stuff round the projector is a filler/glue. The housing will be sprayed black.




This is what its going to look like, somewhat, once it is done. The black tape if holding the filler/glue.




<FONT COLOR=""Red""><FONT SIZE=""5"">UPDATE:</FONT></FONT>

cut-off pic. I stuck my 6000k pnp bulb in the projector. Looks more yellow in person but I will go with 4300k or 3000k(yellow) bulbs for the final version.

That doesnt appear to be factory. Mine isnt like that nor are others I have seen. I bet the dealership might have put a couple scratches in the front bumper when it arrived or during delivery etc so they had to fix it. Thats what usually happens.

Maybe?? I know the car arrived on July 19th, They did the inspection on the 20th, and I bought it on the 22nd. Seems unlikely that the dealership would spend any $$$ on this car since I had to yell at them to fix a scrtch they put on while they were doing the first oil change. Also didnt try hard to remove the rail dust from the rear bumper. I told them to claybar it, but they wouldn do it, "paints to fresh". I replied, "if its fresh why would you rail the car?" I got some horseshit reply.

Yup no retro, yet!


Having a little issue with the drivers side. Wants to cut off on me. It was off while doing errands, got back to the house and started wiggling the wires and it kept turning off and on during certain movement. i think it might be making contact with something or the kit plug to the stock plug might not be fully "in"
