Looking nice Lee. Can't wait to see the outcomes of the JDM fogs installation.

So im about halfway done. So far ive got the bumper cut and Im on the verge of getting the mounting correct.
stock hole size vs cut hole size

test mounting. Since the USDM and JDM bumper and bumper beam arnt the same Ive had to cut up and drill the beam a bit as well as the JDM bracket

switches

I still have to wire up the second switch, but that should be easy since the first switch is already hooked up (I can splice off of all the wires to it, except for the relay)
Technically I could put everything back together, but Id still like to fiddle around and aim them before I put the bumper back on. Id also like to paint the brackets and some parts around the radiator.
interesting comparo pic of how large the new fogs really are.

it's probably just stuck then. It only took 2 for me.
Lee, how is the lighting difference?

The side bulbs light up the ditches nicely along twisty roads. The projectors are so bright that switching from low to high beam makes very little difference.

there are 2 bolts for the brackets, and there are 2 for the fog lights.
i took both of them off and still cant get it off. almost seems like there is another bolt behind the fogs.
