TChan,
That would be great to have a DIY.
Unfortunately, I didn't make one either for mine. I don't think the fog projectors are really worth it in terms of seeing. I did it because 1) I wanted to black out the fog housings and 2) I wanted an HID kit in the fogs without sending ugly ugly glare into the eyes of incoming traffic. The bosch projectors give a clean output, but they're not wide, and they are fog projectors so they're nowhere as intense as headlight projectors. Now to those who retrofitted normal D2S projectors in their fogs...wow. =)
Looks good though. how about some output shots on the wall or something?

I'll probably be in Danville this weekend. If you want to check them out in person PM me your cell and maybe we can meetup. I want to check out your dash LEDs and CF overlay anyway.

Brocioz, I have one more question. One picture title says that the high beams are not pictured (silverstar ultras 9005), are they on, in DRL mode or is that just the 194's LEDs?
I'm asking to make sure before I start ordering because I would like to change the DRL's so they aren't yellow without loosing the high beams, I will replace the 194's as well. If I have to, I will replace the highs/DRL with LEDs and forget about the high beams.
Some other questions for anyone;
1) Any recommendation for a 9006 bulb to replace the OEM fog bulbs that would match the garax 6000k as close as possible in white or bluish but no yellow? (I currently don't have a driveway or a place to work on mods. My mods have to be simple that don't require removing the bumper to comfortably install an HID kit for example).
2) Having replaced the OEM high beam/DRL bulbs (9005) with LEDs, what happens if you pull the light switch back? The question is to know if at least one can still use that method for signaling other drivers and pedestrians.
All help and answers are appreciated, thanks.

If you're trying to get rid of the yellow DRL look, you'll have to get an LED conversion kit, but then you lose high beams. The other option is to have the dealer disabled the DRLs altogether.
1) I tried the Silverstar Ultras for the fogs - it's better, but still not a good match. Maybe others know of a better option, but they would probably all involve greatly reduced output if you want a color match. You really have to get an HID kit for the fogs to match right. Check this thread of mine: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ng-lights.html
2) They would turn on, but wouldn't provide any usable light. Drivers could probably see it turning on and off, but it would be washed out by your lows. You wouldn't have that blinding effect to catch their attention.
