Default HID Projector Fog (2011+)

Coming soon!! Just got a picture of them so far.

Got a a pic of them and waiting to receive them. They have been retrofitted into the 2011+ fog housing such that it will be a hot swap when they get installed.

Look like the new h11 fog are easier to retrofit than 9006 fog, but look like they use glue not the grey glue one like the headlights?

It's about close to $300 if I recall; added on top that you buy a set of fog housing or send them your own fogs.

I'm not sure what kind of glue they used but did say will prevent water from getting in.. The HID projectors used is the Morimoto Matchbox with Mini Gatling Gun shroud.

It took long for the company to retrofit them because the challenges were being able to open the stock fog light without breaking the glass because was little clearance to work with because of the design of the stock housing. The other is being able to get the projector and the shroud, aiming/calibrating them for the same reason.

The 9006 fog is actually easier because it's an assembly is a different design therefore have more clearance to play with.

As compared to the H11 fog, your clearance is the light housing itself which leaves little clearance to work with.

I have posted the rest of the pictures of the projectors. First post has been modified.

Here are more pics of the projectors. One shows the remains of what was taken out of the stock light housing to be able to retrofit the projectors.

The rest are the new projectors and show that they fit in the stock bracket and the black piece which hovers just in front of the light itself.
