Default Hidden foglights.

I'm thinking of buying up some foglights, and mounting them behind my grille (going to purchase the black billet from AM).


I know you have to relocate the horns, no prob, and mount the fogs, no prob.

Just curious, will the OEM GT fogs fit behind the grille?
I searched around and couldn't find the answer.


I'd throw some 5000k HID's to match my current, and tint the fogs.


What do you guys think?


Also, anyone selling some fogs? I just need the housing.

That could look very cool if done properly. I don't know the answers, unfortunately. Looking forward to seeing the results if you decide to move forward!

Exactly like that,
but I don't have the fogs, and I'd save money custom building it myself =p.

Grille -120, Mounting Hardware-20
They're charging quite a bit extra for the horn relocation kit, and the mounting hardware for the fogs. I can do both using Lowes for a bit cheaper =p


I'm poor, so always about saving money.

Yeah I despise wiring. I wanted to move my battery to my trunk...but that's waaaaaay too much wiring.

I just did some DIY CCFL Halo Fogs on my V6 (also stealth mounted behind a billet grille). Here's my tip. Choose your fogs carefully if you're purchasing universal foglights because there is almost no room behind the grille. Second tip is to measure, measure, measure, and measure.

I have the AM grille, and their isn't much room behind the grille.
I'm really not sure the stock GT fogs would fit.

I thought you were selling your car for a GT?

I've ordered a black billet with hidden fogs from dg custom auto on friday. I can't imagine there's a heck of a lot of room behind the grille to work with...
