If another load is added to a series circuit, voltage throughout the circuit remains the same and the voltage drops across the circuit split up the voltage according to resistance. My ghetto wiring isn't pulling more voltage than the 12v it was designed for; each light is only getting ~6v. I still plan on putting the factory harness in (dim foglights are pointless), but I was just thinking about it while I was bored.

Stock bumper's going back on today after work. The cobra bumper will be painted and on the car monday.
Also, after I get the fog light harness, the next step is Luminics JDM yellow fog light bulbs. After that, I start saving for suspension goodies
The harness will most likely be on the car in mid-February, and the new bulbs in the lights a week or two later. I'm hoping to have the car slammed by mid-summer at the latest, but the front suspension alone is going to run me around $2k, so we'll see how that goes.

Because they're yellow and the same price as any other good bulbs... and I get a discount from the vendor for being a member of a certain mustang forum
Anyway, the painter now has the bumper; he's going to spray it over the weekend and I'll have it back (and hopefully back on the car) Monday evening
Also, the fog bulbs/harness will be a few extra weeks; I just found out I have a car insurance payment to make later this month, so yeah =/

Just got the bumper back from my painter. I think I've found my official painter lol... the only thing I'm not happy with is he won't spray an entire car, so I've got to find someone else to spray it when I'm done. Either way, I'm definitely going to have him paint my side scoops soon, and the skirts, mirrors, spoiler, and (hopefully) hood as I buy them.
Pictures with the fogs/bezels and chin spoiler on tomorrow

Thanks... it definitely looks a lot better with the lip and fogs... though the lip isn't perfectly lined up yet; I'm going to re-mount it (which means drilling more holes lol) in a week or two. I've had my car in the shop (staying at work after I'm off the clock =/ ) two days in a row now, so I'm not too eager to stay after work again this week.
Anyway, on to the pics! I didn't get home quite in time for daylight, so bear with me here. The pics still aren't coming out as clean and crisp as I'd like them, but I'm working on it:
