RE: DIY: Halo Fog Lights
does the center of the foglights light up as well and if so can you run the halo section of the foglight at the same time as the center section of the foglight? Looks kinda cool but i like the looks of my fogs and would hate to lose them for a little circle looking light that serves no purpose other than looks.

Why is it that ATLEAST every other thread I see you post in has to include some smart @$$ remark? Grow up bro... So maybe this guy didn't know you could just pop the grill or maybe he didn't want to so he would have more work to do it in... give him a break, he did a write up with pictures to help people out and you're bashing him.... christ I hope you're still in High School to be acting the way that you do.

You removed the bumper cover, WHY?
How many scratches did you encounter
with your simple fog light replacement mod?
How about instructions on how to REMOVE halo fogs.
I have em and dont want them.
I also need a quicker way than removing the
fuel tank to add sea-foam to my fuel.
Any suggesstions there, McGiever?

To all who wonder why I removed the bumper - There's two reasons...
1. I wanted to see how the headlights were attached so I can swap them for halo headlights in the future.
2. I wanted as much room as possible to work with a soldering iron when I cut into the running light's wiring...Allstarwas right.If I didn't remove the bumper, thenthe plastic wheelwell cover and rim/tire would hinder mywork or I would have to solder upside down which is dangerous.
I probably could've done the job without removing the bumper IF I were using splice connectors and just crawled under the carto quickly make the connectionsBUT I wantedto do it right, and that's by soldering.

RE: DIY: Halo Fog Lights
These look great. Has anyone did the fogs and the regular lights as well? Would 4 halos look like too much? And would there be a way to turn on just the halos, and be able to use the regular headlights when needed/wanted?Again, good write up

another question, what is the point of the transistor that comes with the fogs? why do they have to have it?

The wiring loom goes thru easily accessable areas for easy
connection without needing to remove the bumper cover.
I also didnt notice the use of any two stage heat shrink on
your connections like Ford used.. [
]That harness is now prone to water damage in the form of
water wicking up the wires.
