It adds 20HP, duh.

I suppose you could wire it to turn on with your running or driving lights, but enjoy getting pulled over.

not all the time
i mean just to have one of the reverse lights as a fog light, just like the EDM has
of course using a switch etc.
i just wondering if anyone have done this way, instead of buying the actual EDM crx taillights.

well you absolutely could.... just wire it into a switch on the dash and make it have its own circuit (hopefully dependant on the headlights being a closed circuit so your *** isn't winking when the car / lights is off), then goto http://autolumination.com/ , find the correct replacement bulb in red and viola, faux EDM rear fog light.

I wouldnt mind seeing how this work's out. I think you should paint the inside of the reverse light lense, that way your not relying on the red globe. ( I think it would look better.

I just replaced my reverse lights with these http://superlumination.com/ima...m.jpg
from here (eagle eye 5) http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm
I was impressed with them, they're alot brighter and i can see much better at night (when backing up). no wiring required

and $400 for rear fogs is way too much. I've seen them go for around $150 with everything.
