They are H3's according to sylvania. But if your hooking em up to a pre-95 SC, i dont think it would matter correct? You have to run new wires regardless am i right?

Nice. Think of the possibilities. Put it flush & throw a plug & play HID kit in there & you're set. I like your creativity. It's like $40 a day for the SC community(rachael ray reference). Low buck, effective mods that are slightly off the beaten path.

This thread came just in time. I would like to see the beam pattern if you get a chance to take some pictures.

Hey guys ... sorry this is taking so long. I just got ac components in and that will have to take precedence. I cant be without air any longer. Been broken a while. I imagine beam pattern is gonna blow away the stock pattern. These are H3s.

I still have to figure out why my fogs are not working.

just cheat. wire them directly to the battery and put on an in-line fuse, then put a switch in the passenger compartment. then you can run the fogs whenever your heart desires.

this is actually an option, but I would wire it to the existing switch.

I just need a few minutes to go thru and try to find out whats wrong. I bet the relay has been taken out when the car was hit so as to not short out the wires. I have an electrical diagram, but it doies not show realy location. It just says under dash kickpanel. Does anyone know location? Could someone take a pic?

Of course, the AC has to go inm b4 the fogs....it gets hot here in hell, I mean florida.

Well, progress has been made. They are on the car, but of course not yet working. They really look like the Viper fogs. Once again, they are personal taste, but I think better than stock...

I was impatient with the harness, and also because mine was chewed anyway, I just cut the wires and used a Lexus harness I had laying around...I think with soime patience and careful trimming, they weould have hooked up to our stock harness.
