Retrofit projector fogs?

Been looking around without any results. Anyone done a set yet?

Thanks! I think ill have to hit him up. I like the look of hid head/fogs but hate the scatter produced by pnp hid fogs.

I will say I'm guilty of running hid fogs at the moment but projectors are definitely in the works. Hopefully within the next month or so

I did a set with the intent to do a how to:. I never got around to do the write up but I'm happy with the fogs. I used the matchbox projector it's a bi-exon. Here's a picture of what it looked like when it was dry fitted with the halo on.

I cannot remember exactly off hand how I tied it in. I look at it later and let you know.

Excellent! Yes - pics, please!

BTW - TRS offers a splitter harness to drive the extra high beam solenoids from the existing set on the main heads.

Cheers

Not perfect. but my first retro and on a time crunch. I'm going to wire up the hi-beams to my heads and to a switch in the cab.

Looking good!
I cut the end off the fogs high beam wire and soldered on a longer wire to reach up to the head lights. I then tapped and soldered that wire into the connection of the head light projectors highs and the relay harness. Its all one connection now so it will have to be cut if I wanted to remove a light.
Are you going to put anything on the backs of those matchbox projectors to keep the dirt and water out of the H1 bulb area? There was talk about using a cv axel boot a while back. I used ABS plumbing pipe attachments, and sealed everything up.



And installed for over a year now.
