I had the fogs done at the same time my headlights were - since the bumper was off already... Really makes the front of the car look more aggressive, Juice you should do your fogs as well.

I thought about it but I am going to wait until I decide what Im getting as far as DRL, fog lights, etc. then when i have to take part of the bumper off I might as well do the fogs. thos should be WAAAy easier than the headlights
oh BTW what type of bulb is the one that is next to the DRL/high beam. i couldnt find it last night.

That's a 194. Good job on the lights. They look good. That makes what? Maybe less than 5 of us with this mod done?

Hm I had blacked out headlights, but blacked out fogs look good.
May just have to do that when I install my fog projectors
