    Ok so as you know, i have the GT concept body kit. Unfortunately, i lost my fogs wit hmy old bumper. I feel like something is missing from the look. I also misss the extras lighting. So my next project is to find a decent set of fogs and see if maybe i go HID with em. So heres my request for yalls help:

    1. Should i even bother getting the fogs?
    2. IF i do get them, would i be able to connect them via the original fog cables (meaning the ones that go to the switch on the turn signal stick)
    3. Help me find a good size/shape fogs.
    4. Help me find a good temp (Ie 3000, 6000k, etc)

    Heres some pics for yall to look at and let me know what you think.

    I also wanted to know guys, if i have a certain temp light (example 6000k), if i wanted to change the light to lets say 10000k, would i have to change the whole HID kit or just the bulb? ive been extremely curious and seeing as how we got HID experts here, id love to know.

    Carlos, I wonder if you could custom fabricate the original fog light holders/fog lights to fit in that slot. I know KRU did something of that nature and got it to work with his front bumper. It will save you the hassle of having to wire up new fogs, etc. I think yellow looks nice in the fogs so i'd say go for 3k (the regular bulbs weren't bright enough for you I take it?)

    Naw man, they sooked. Not bright at all. Maybe it was the make?

    Besides, HID is always better.

    Also, i dont need to do any serious wiring, all i need is something to connect the new fogs to where i had the old ones. When i get my car bak i will take pics of what im talknig bout.

    I saw what KRU did, however that was a full fiberglass job, and i dont have the resources for that yet. And with the DOW nearly dropping 800 points,....who knows? lol

    Nick, i had the OEM fogs, still have them too. What i wanted to know is it would it be easier to go like Cam did, and go aftermarket. Itll be a bitch to find a place that does that type of stuff i wanted.

    we could try something ourselves dude
    we can get some streetglow rectangle LED fogs
    the mak a sort of Audio fog light
    and i could wire it straight to the battery and then the ground into ur stock harness so u can use the stock switch
