Still need to know what those loose connectors are for. I ordered a chalk maybe I can just do a plug and play if one of those wires is a presided fog light wire..

Can you get some images of marking on the Light housing and the plastic shroud! before you get them installed.

I wonder if they did mold and got the markings like the oem did.

Also get some pictures of them light up at night with headlights on. see if color temperature is exact match to headlights

Ok here are some pictures of that and I'll take some more tonight. I'm sure I'll have to adjust them if they're facing up or down too much. They look almost identical in color in the day time.

Done for now, I'll post pictures tonight on how they look at night. Ince I get the chalk switcher I'll be doing that. I need to know if those wires are prewired for my fog lights home someone can help me.
The way I wired them to the DRLs they won't come one unless I turn the switch to on or the lights come on automatically.

Does the fog light indicator only light up if you use the stalk?

The way I have it wired rightnow no. It goes un-noticed by the computer since I just taped from the DRLs. That's how they come one and off. Except that they only come on when the headlights come on or the side marks are powered on. They don't come one as DRLs which is all the time.. I didn't want them to always be on. Once I find out what the wires inside my bumper are, then I'll be doing the full wiring with the chalk and all. Hoping that it'll be plug and play. Crossing my fingers

can you tell if that plastic surrounding the foglight has the same texture as the OEM JDM ones? if not do you think the jdm cutouts will fit the light fixture? hopefully the plastic surrounds look good enough. they look good in the pics. as i said before, even if the light itself isn't that good, buying some components from retrofitsource may make it as good or exceed the oem ones

They are a exact duplicate mold of the original housing and shroud
