I think you can use the 350z reflector projectors in the OE fog housing

Not into the stock foglight housing, as the height of that projector would exceed the foglight housing, unless u mount most of it sticking out from the back. The only person who has done a retrofit into the fogs is Ay-Nako and he used the JP fogs which are around $400 for the set, but they come with clear lenses and a slightly taller. I have succesfully mounted a projector into the stock housing and have recorded the effect the stock lenses have on light output, just do a search for my thread. Currently working on a solution for manufacturing a clear lense.

Awesome guys this is exciting. Ordered my kit today. Ok now to get the lense off the fog do you have to bake it (like the headlights) or is it secures with tabs? Don't worryim not doing it yet hah

The glue isnt like the headlight at all its is a hard and brittle silicone that is not heat reactive. But I've devised a process to take them apart, will post a DIY with accompanying video when I have time.

Good to know... if or when there is a solution on the lense, it would be a good idea to use the same adhesive as the headlight.
