LED fog retro 06+ capable

Just finished these bad boys up this weekend. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led...l#.U7oO9tgg-P8

Since these are 3.5" and our fogs are just a tad over 4" they wouldn't be a simple plug and play. Lucky they fit almost perfect inside our OEM fog lights.
Very simple to mount. The new fogs already have 2 bolt holes on the back. Simply drill a hole into the reflector of the old fog light and bolt the new fog light inside. You may have to adjust for rotation but that's really simple to do and just took widening out the drilled holes to rotate the new fogs.

With painting it took me a day to finish, very easy to do.

THese things are very very wide. I have RX350 projectors which are known for having one of the widest beam patterns and these things outshine them..

I'm sorry but picture just don't do them justice.

It should. Aren't the fogs the same size?

Buy a bumper with fog lights ha
I'll try to get some day time pictures and better night time pictures..
I thought they might end up looking to small but using the OEM fog as a mounting point really fills in the gaps.

I was just saying there's more pics in here than in your "build thread." I wasn't demanding more pics haha.

I'm pretty set on an NFAB front bumper, but I may get a set of OEMs and have them PTM'd if I come across something.

I know. Build thread just gets updates this is kind of a how to and informative thread so I wanna cover all details and answer all questions asked.

I forgot you were getting one of those bumpers.

09+ guys I highly suggest waiting till TRS comes out with their direct replacement LED fogs. It was just stated they will be coming up soon.
06-08 guys you can do this or wait till I bite the bullet and see if the 09+ LED fogs will fit.
