i was able to figure out the wires on my own so that won't be a problem. it's just those damn twisty brackets! how much is the shop charging you to install the fogs if u don't mind me asking?

Yeahh~~~ Welcome to the Expensive_Fog_Light club.




Just for the head up. The labor is intensive and you will not find the DLR connector behind the dash. Let me know if you need help.

so after having the jdm fogs sit in my closet for 2+ months and 2 huge gaping holes in my bumper for about a month, i finally get the damn things installed! let me tell you... these fogs are damn near impossible to figure out without a set of instructions. for those that were able to figure it out sans instructions... you guys must be geniuses! especially figuring out where all the twisty brackets n such go. a million thanks goes to josephdoc who sent me the instructions in japanese... you are a lifesaver!!! you also have to wire up the led drls yourself... i tapped into the cig lighter and ran it thru the firewall and into the drl led wires. anyways.. here are pics of it being installed and the finished product. note: it was really difficult trying to take an accurate picture of it at night. so the color of the light that you see is not its true color... it's not as blue in real life.
