The round fog lights are good, but i decided to make something else.

I like it .

How did i get there? Maybe someone has the same idea or is interested how i made it..

First i started with the oem part , tried to make it fit.

I was not very happy with that , plan was to carbon overlay arond the lights ..

So i went another route. I have a friend in italy he makes beautiful 2G carbon parts.

I also found the cover for my lights, i use wheelen 500 series.
(who knows wheelen, knows what comes in the end but you will see later)
I cut it and insert the light cover.

Test fit. Not bad but the problem was the lights pointed to the side.
I knew i had to make it straight..

You could use any light with the right dimension. I took the wheelen for fun reason , they are blue and red .

I bet they work a hell of a lot better than the OEM ones too. Look great and low profile for big intercoolers! Best of both worlds!

 

[Phantomdmod]

Right, unfortunaly there still isnt much more room behind. A very little bit

Love your work. My only problem is that with upgraded engine mounts the car's vibrations would make these shake all around. What does your output look like?

Switzerland is very strict, how the heck you going to be legal with these? Or do they go white also at a touch of a button?

Thanks. These are LED lights vibration is not a problem for it..

Got any insight on that grill? Looks awesome!

It's a grill from grillcraft. I modified it to move it a bit more to the back.
Unfortunately it has been discontinued..

Oh yes unfortunately its very strict here. But its not an option for me to do nothing..
At the inspection I cover it. They have 15 min to check the whole car, there are more important stuff.

That would be great to switch to white, but this model is just single color.

15mins! How can they be strict but so quick? Seems odd that, the UK MOT is about 45 mins - 1hr and they go through everything.

Yeah its crazy..
They know exactly were to look.
If something is suspicious, they look closer.
But if you cover something, they most likely dont see it because of the short time.

Great. Let’s see the output on the ground. Toss a towel over your headlights.

That would be a citation here in Colorado. You can't have blue, red, or green lights visible from the front.
