Looks good and a nice modification. How visible are the turn signals when these lights are on? Or do you use these as an offroad fog light only?

Oh they don't interfere with the turn signals at all. And i run with them on all the time, they are a driving light not fog. i use the hellas for off road. i have hid's in the headlamps (waiting to install projectors) and i like the look of hid headlights with yellow fogs/driving like the lex IS has or the infiniti suv's. looks cool at night and real bright.

So then you added driving lights to the bumper holes and not true fog lights then. Personally at that height level, I would put in actual fog lights to get the real benefits of a fog light.

ya, just realized in the title i said "fog" when they are actually driving. i thought at that height it was too high to really get a benefit of a fog so i went with the driving. at that width it really ads to the sides as far as spreading the light.

You would benefit from an actual fog light housing, since driving patterns still hit fog/rain dead on which reflects back to you. Also, hopefully you have those aimed down since not many drivers will appreciate the headlights plus driving lights in their mirror and face.

i might try out fogs in the future for now i'm happy with them and the output/pattern. all my stuff is aimed pretty low and to the right except the hella 500s...no worries.

Are those the eBay JDM black housed headlights and turn signals? If so do you have any condensation or fitment issues with them?
Thanks

yes, they are. i like the look, but the light pattern is horrible! i could not afford the oem ones at the time. i had a crack in one of my oem ones. no condensation or fitment issues for me. make sure the hole where the bulb fits is adequetly sealed, i noticed that rubber boot is a pos.

Sorry to hear about the crappy light dispersement man, that seals it for me though.
Thanks

They look sweet, good job.
Too bad the pattern isn't what you were expecting.

That dog is awesome, the breed is called Cane Corso?
I might have to look into those.

Yup.......thanks to this forum I knew they had a crappy pattern but i needed replacements. I would not have done this just to do it as a cosmetic upgrade. I didn't care too much though b/c its a matter of time before I instal TL projectors in them.

The lil driving lights in the bumper are pretty good though. Minor install adjustments such as fliping the bracket and drilling a new hole was all it took. Cutting the holes in the bumper was a bit of pita though.

Theres a vid of Lucifer at 4wks in my sig, shes almost 4mo now. Her breeders site is bellarosacanecorsos.com, its a rare breed so do your research first. Shes one of the best in the country. They are awesome dogs.

Thanks for the props from everyone.... all in all I'd say it was about a cpl hours of work for both the roll bar and the lights, I wired them into the existing harness/switch.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for those headlights and corners? Are they the same as sold by Jason (burtman industries)? If not, do you know what the differences are?

I love the look but not willing to sacrifice the most important part - illumination!

Thanks.

Fireball, do NOT get these. They suck. Don't know if they're the same as Burtman, they are the Ebay ones and they're all the same. Think I paid about $120, could prolly find them as low as $80 now. Old post.... I know.
