Prices don't sound too bad. But I really wouldn't recommend 8000k HIDs for the fogs because like I said, anything above the 5000k temp. range, you're losing visible light, which kind of defeats the purpose of fog lights. Trust me, in a light mist or anything worse (fog especially), 8000k HIDs are useless.

I had a set of them, too. Well, I did until I went into a bush and ruined the passenger side fog bezel and light. I never had any complaints.

i figured they all looked the same so i might as well just pick them up for cheap at ebay. i saw some websites that wanted excess of $200 for them, $300 for a pair of blue ones, ridiculous.

i should be gettin (ordering) the projectors and tails tomorrow, i just have to wait for a payment to go through on my card today. so hopefully if all goes well ill have the fogs, tails and projectors next week since the places that im ordering from are only a couple hours away from where i live. hopefully nothing is on back order or any of that crap, im tired of back order garbage, lol. still waitin for my exhaust cuz its on stupid back order.

anywho, im definitely gettin my windows tinted this saturday, ill have pics up as soon as i can. then fingers crossed for lights to be installed next weekend! (and possibly the exhaust)

so ive got my toggle switches for the halos and fogs. my fogs should be arriving tomorrow and the heads and tails should be tuesday or wednesday. im not sure where i should be the switches though. i was thinking of puttin them somewhere in the center near the stereo but i was also thinking where the center armrest was. any suggestions?...

either in between the stereo and the air conditioner/defrost buttons, or just below the air/defrost buttons....

or just under the armrest above the e-brake....

Question, do those rectangular pieces just hide screws, or something much more sinister?

not sure yet.... havent checked them out. i really want to put the switches somewhere in the first picture preferably between the stereo and ac/defrost but that would mean i would have to drill into the center to run the wires. im not too sure how i would mount the switches if i decided to put them below the ac/defrost, i would probably have to fabricate some kind of mounting panel.
