What do you think, fog light mounting

S13minus1 · 09-25-2009, 07:09 PM

Just curious what you guys think about where I'm mounting these foglights I have laying around, what do you think?
Also, how hard is it to drill thru the bumper? Hahah

Its your truck, mount your fog lights were you like, it shouldn`t matter what others think, if you like that spot then go for it. Drilling the front bumper is easy, its just thin steel.

Zip ties no good. make some mounts. Looks nice though

I really dig the spot, but mount them for real

Elton · 09-25-2009, 10:43 PM

yea thats a nice spot

AZkid · 09-25-2009, 11:08 PM

he most likely zipped tied them for mocking up purposes...

That was my first thought to AZkid.That is a good spot to mount them,I might just do the same.

Haha, your frame cracks me up.

My father bought a '94 Ferrari 512 TR from that dealer about 5 years ago. When he got home we had a small fire in the driveway to do-away with those.

I have considered that spot for mounting fogs many times though. Only thing stopping me is that my license plate gets in the way a little.

Something to consider if you want them to be TRUE fog lights is that white light reflects off of water molecules (fog) where-as yellow will penetrate them.

Good luck,
Alex

You can combine your blinkers and corners, then use the blinker spot in the bumper to mount the lights in!! No drilling into your bumper!
