fog lights's and FMIC do not mix

[baxsom]

i never really cared about this before but it would be nice to put my fog lights back on
my hahn fmic mounts to the stock fog light holes
then the fog light brackets go over the studs and then everything is tightened down
when you put the fog lights in the brackets they stick out past the bumper giving it an almost bucktoothed appearance
so i took them off

did anyone elses do this or is the fmic on wrong
or what
i couldnt figure out any other way to get the fmic on and have the fog lights in their original position

That's hot!

 

[baxsom]

Might last until the first time you park it on the street.

I say billy, BiLLY bucktooth bobby jean. HEHE

hack the back of them off, put them in there some how and just never use them.

 

[baxsom]

i was thinking that the easiest fix was to take them off and put in a mesh grill
i was going to do that anyway to protect the IC but just extend it out to cover where the lights were

 

[baxsom]

so here is the finished product
i took off the stock headlights that were sticking out and put some tiny driving lights in the air vents. they really arent that useful but since i had the wires already there and the switch on the dash thought i would make use of it

meh, i dont like the look of the mesh over the FMIC. if i was you, i would just try and pick up a 2gB bumper and call it a day.

 

[baxsom]

what is a 2g B bumper
i didnt really like the mesh either but there was no way i was going to continue letting the fins on the IC get dented by rocks, bugs, or whatever decided to get in the way while i was driving

i am not a fan of body kits or spending money on non performance items so i did what i could with what i already had

 

[kelvinb]

2ga=95-96 bumper (what you have)
2gb=97-99 bumper (what may work better)


looks good though

better grab some 2gb headlights while your at it.

and the fogs on the 2gb work with the hahn fmic

 

[9D9 MITSU RS]

You can just get some hella fog lights if you really want to install something else. They are bright.

 

[baxsom]

oooohhh ok
the 2gb is the bumper with the large hole already in the front right
like on the hahn web page
that would be a lot easier
but like the previous post
then i have to redo the headlights dont i
fitment issues
