yup, finally finished installing them.......whew!!!...it took me sat n sun of last week. yup, the whole freakin' day, man! i wanted to check out that lexus meeting that day (saturday) at rowland heights but apparently, cudn't make it. i heard it was a blast, lots of people showed up. one guy here, though, represented us "1st gen" but dont recall his name. he owns a gold gs with newer gs wheels.......hey, eric, was that you, man?

anyways, here are the pics of before and after finished project of installing these is300 fogs. i only applied fiberglass in the back, if you can see, nothing in the front. the lights are snugged in there, doesn't even move at all. it's as stiff as a rock!..ha.ha.ha

anyhow, i got new sets of headlights, jdm ones, from japan and plnning to reinstall my E39 projectors from my old lights, the ones jmai22 and i got lst year. these lights are kind of different to ours. check out the pics

 

Hey Patrick, I just thought of an idea. How about molding brackets onto the inside of the bumper to secure the lights? Try to picture it in your mind: Imagine a 1/8 inch thick, 1/ 1/4 wide, 8 inch long straight metal bracket. Now bend it into a "U". The bottom of the "U" should be 3-4 inches wide so it can hold the foglights. Now turn the "U" on its side so the top of the "U" is facing toward the left. Now picture the "U" pointing to the front of the car. Now slide the bracket over the back of the foglight so the sides of the "U" are on the top and bottom of the light. The bottom of the "U" holds the light so it doesn't move back. Now mold the ends of the "U" onto the inside of the pumper. Use two of these per light. When it is dried/hardened, slide the screws sticking out the back of the foglights through the holes in the bracket and secure it with a nut.

Maybe you could picture it, maybe not. It would be so much easier to illustrate with a pen and paper.

What is this for? So the foglight can be removed without tearing up the bumper, which is what would happen if the lights are molded into the bumper. Also, the verticle direction of the light can be slightly adjusted up and down by loosening the bolts and sliding the screw up or down to the desired height.

Maybe this all sounds loony because words are not an adequate replacement for drawings, but I think it might work.

 

A little off topic...but it was me at the meet in RH. I have a 96 model with Dronell C-05.

The meet was fun, and I hope to attend more in the future.

 

Hey, where's a pic of the new lights installed. With the bumper on the car.

 

sorry here are the pics. got cut off a little while ago.

 

here's the left side......

 

fogs installed.....

 

Damn those look good!!! Good job man well worth the effort.

Show a close-up please.

 

fogs turned on......i replaced the stock 9006 bulbs inside and used my sylvania ones.....a little brighter and of course, much better in person..

 

They look great! Do they point straight now? It will be awesome to see your HIDs and new lights at night.

Question: do you know where I can find a new set of those PIAAS you gave me? How much are they? I really like the yellow, the color is more effective at cutting through the fog and it looks really nice. Anyways, one of the lights is less yellow than the other, so I want to get a new set.

 

here is the jdm headlights lenses......

 

What type of ground-effect kit do you have and how much did it cost?

 

notice at the corner of this lights, a little different.

 

here's the projector that came with it. i think it's the same as what we have here..

 

Yeah i like the look of yellow fog lights... give a distinct look. I had tried in the past to find some yellow bulbs for my stock fog lights but was unsuccessful. (I didn't try real hard though).

I also have a IS 300, so i jump in it when i want that look.
