dsgrntld187 Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Oh yeah, you can see these light up in front of you. Get a set off of ebay, 10 bucks. I don't remember the name, but I had to completely Ghetto rig these ot fit. Broke off one of the mounting tabs (on purpose), and then I found out I got so pissed at the passenger fog light (original) that the mount was completely bent out of shape so I had to fix that. All in all took about 2 or 3 hours today. I'm quite slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING JOKER Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 at least you took the time to install them. they look good. nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks, I tried to do them as best as I could. The thing that took the most time was getting the old ones out surprisingly. Thanks to the guys here, I figured out that the knob was supposed to be bolted on, and so once I figured that out, the passenger one came out (I had literally worked on getting it out on and off for 2 months) pretty quick and then the driver side one I had to set the knob on fire so it would melt away and then I twisted the bolt with the pliers till the socket would be able to get it. I can pretty much drive my car now with only the foglights which is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I have the same exact driving lights and they're just as ghetto mounetd. I started driving around with just the fogs/parking lights on but people kept flashing their highs at me cause their so damn bright. I think I just need to aim them a bit lower. my old fog lights looked bright but didn't do shit. lit up the side of the road but didn't do shit in front of the car they're not supposed to fog lights are meant to be aux. lights to help you see better at night, they're meant to be used more or less when it's foggy out. They're dim and wide and low so they light under the fog and don't reflect off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Heh at least I have a backup if my lights go out while I'm driving now. What do you guys think of the brake overlay? It was really quick and I actually got into too big of a hurry because I had to go to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...just for the sake of argument, the only true foglights on a W-Body were the old-school ones...like before 93, i'm pretty sure... The fogs on our cars, while pretty good, are more like driving lights and were MAINLY for appearance. They do fill the lower part of the beam with light, which is better during fog and generally good for seeing the road, however they're not true fogs.

dsgrntld187 Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Are you talking about the ones that were taller but skinnier? Like that were on Camaros and things like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldsmoBeast Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Are you talking about the ones that were taller but skinnier? Like that were on Camaros and things like that? ??? huh? if you're asking me about which fogs were true foglights, i think it was the ones on the old school International Cuttys...and I dunno but I think the TGP lights might have been good too...Not sure... i just remember having this conversation before...maybe a year ago.. the main thing is that most true fog lights are yellow.

It was really quick and I actually got into too big of a hurry because I had to go to work. I haven't put my decals on my car yet, but that's exactly what I was going to do. That looks good. I'm definately going to do that now! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK I think you mean pre '92 lights, and I know which ones you're talking about, but I fail to see how '92+ CS stock fog lights weren't actual "fogs." They had a wide, low beam, low wattage, and were vertically adjustable. When I got my new driving lights I could tell just from the case what made the difference: the stock casing was more or less a half circle, while the driving light replacments I got were noticably more of a half oval, making it a narrow projected beam opposed to the wide of the originals.

cryptnix Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 yeah, of all honesty theres no point in rushing an install of any sort. like my under glow for example... took me like 6 hours todo ... half the time was like trying to figure out where to put the damn wiring ...
