Default F sport fog light install help

For the members who bought Nigel's 3is f sport fog kit, where did you install it?

Just wondering if I should go to the dealership or an independent audio light shop.

Also I'm in the nyc area

hey whats up man, I got it installed in Brooklyn at 180customs.

the guy I dealt with is Artem. He charged me $400, make sure you go over exactly how you want the lights to work, on off without headlights, off with engine of etc.

Thanks for your reply.

I live really close to oneighty actually!

Funny thing was that I called them today, and it seemed like they have no idea what the process is... It's as if they haven't done the work before...

How would you rate the install? any damage to the bumper or other areas? and what options did you choose? on without headlights, etc?

If you talk with Artem or go see him, he will know for sure cause he was raving how im the only guy in Brooklyn with an f-sport like that... haha not for long right?

If you want I can show my car prior to you getting it done.
The hardest thing I guess was taking the steering wheel.

I did it so I can turn on or off without headlights. the prob is that the fog light indicator will not turn on the dash reminding you they are on, so he did it so that when the engine shuts off, the foglights go off so I don't forget to turn them off.

when headlights are on you can see both indicators on your dash for fog lights and headlights.

ill send you a PM with my number

Nigel, I had the lights installed the other day. When they are on with the headlights, I don't get the fog light indicator on dash. Any idea why?

Bumping this back to the top. I just finished installing the Nigel fogs w/stalk and don't have the dash light indicator either. Has anyone figured out the workaround for this? I do have some notes that I will post w/pics once I get this fully operational but would like to get the dash light working first. One thing I did notice is that my K23 connector already had wires running to pins 10 and 11. (There were no factory connectors down at the fog light mounts though) I replaced the K23 pins with new pins and wires, one for power and one for the yellow wire leading to the relay. I'm wondering if splicing pin 11 back into the mix would trip the fog dash light when they are switched on?

Thanks for the reply. Was beginning to wonder if this fell into the abyss. I assume your fog dash indicator works?? If so could you recommend a POC at ONEighty that I could call to discuss their install method? I just checked the two wires and one is the factory ground and the other goes to the Main Body ECU. Putting power to that wire didn't trip the fog dash light so not sure how they got it to work.
