Click on your username in the upper right hand side of the main screen and create an album in your profile section

Upload the pics into your album and then grab the BB Code from the bottom of the picture and paste it into your message. If you use the URL code, you will have to paste it in with the "insert picture" icon above the area where you add text into messages. (The icon looks like a mountain with a sun)

I always "preview" the post to make sure it is the right picture and it is going to display correctly, before submitting it.

Will post more tomorrow. Sun came down on me.

Original Grill with no Fogs

Hella 500 Fog lights installed behind Stock Grill.

Fog Lights are mounted on a Drilled L shaped Bar which can be found at Home Depot. Holes are already drilled. May have to be cut an inch or so.

Both ends of Drilled L shape bar will be held in place by the stock inner screw that holds the headlights in place.

Width of the bar is a perfect fit. Just like i posted above you may have to cut the L shaped bar. Not difficult at all.

Close up on how Bar should be mounted with screw. (Right headlight)

Close up on how Bar should be mounted with screw. (Left Headlight)


L shaped bar comes in silver but i purchased Flat black spray paint and painted bar. If anything this is what takes up the most time. Last but not least. The lights can be mounted to your preference with holes that are already drilled in L shaped bar.

I've been wanting to do the fogs behind the grille as well. I like the idea of using a L Bracket. I've been trying to think about how to fab something up with my limited skill, and this seems like a good way to go about it.
Good Job!

the lights are very stable on the l bracket the only thing is the l bracket moves a bit but only when u push on it or move it because it doesnt have a base in the middle just at both edges of the bracket but its not going anywhere at all
