From Disaster Comes Hope
Two weeks ago I was driving on the 22 Fwy and hit an "invisible" object which caused this:
A cracked front bumper and demolished fog lamp.
With this, I was going to just get what was broken fixed and that was that. But...one thing led to another and I was on my way to fusing the following components and ideas into this project:
Infinity FX-R Projectors:
JNS350's LED Driving Light/Turn Signal Idea:
5-Axis Lip:
Ings+1 Side Skirts From Ho MotorSports Part out:
With these combined we get the following...
Projector Fog Retrofit:
New front bumper, side skirts, and 5-Axis Lip painted at Longo Lexus!
Wiring the headlights to work with the new Dual Color Changing LEDs and assembling all the components together in about 4 hours left this mess...

Thanks, I wanted to do more with the fogs such as LED DRLs but i think it would have made them look to busy.
Projectors = $175/pair
D2S Bulbs = $45/pair
AMP to D2S HID Ballast Adapters = $15
This retrofit kit requires massive modification to the stock fog lamp assembly.

oh things can fit, you just have to cut out ALOT
To the OP, did you make a custom enclosure for the back so water and other contaminants wouldn't get into the projector and bulb?
jesus, that thing must stick out lol

I resealed the unit and made sure that it was water tight. Was able to maintain one vent filter on the rear of the housing but had to cut the other one off to fit the projector in. Yea...it does stick out quite a bit but it does fit.
I will try to post output pics tonight.

I liked yours and was going to look for them but they don't make them anymore. 
Yours are probably more adjustable than mine and is easier to install because of the size. mine are massive so you also have to cut the projector housing to fit into the housing. I think yours is good, they have a nice output too.
