Nice, what's the best method for opening up the fogs? Would love to do this, think I remember reading about people having problems opening them a while back, will heat and pry work like most lights?

A little heat will pop them right open. The seal it uses is pretty unique, it's more of a rubber molding, not a glue. Just pops out and pops back in when done.

Thanks, looks like I'll be doing projectors real soon!
I did the "blazer" projectors in my fogs a week or two ago thanks to this thread and Spider78's lens thread. Better lighting and less glare than the stock fogs. The lens does kill the color in the cutoff but worth the upgrade imo.
For anyone doing this, be careful opening them up, took more time and heat than the headlights. I think I had them in about 25 minutes at 250 by the time I slowly got them open.
The looks weird in my opinion. If you gonna have projectors, you shouldn't use the reflector housing cuz it just doesn't flow well. But that's just me. But the output is worth it.

john if u referring to my pic above? those are my IS fogs which i sent to luxury mods WITH my oem fogs to be retro-ed or are you referring to the OP's? i wonder if it would be better to paint the inside of my housings black when tony opens them

I painted my projectors and inside of the fogs with a high temp "aluminum" paint since nothing else on my car is blacked out. Not quite perfect but looks decent IMO, black would look good if it flows with the rest of the car. I'll probably post a thread with some new pics once I get the LS460 retro done, just started tearing things apart tonight. Hoping to fit the LS460 high beam projectors in as well, they're gonna be a tight fit.
