Anythings *possible*. Never sene it done, never looked at them to think abuot doing it. My first thouht would be that the nose would have to be modified to fit. Passed that. Sure...

what do you mean the nose? and would there be issues with output since the light has to go through the projector then the lens too?

Oh I thought u meant the entire front end.
Doing just the fogs? IDK, take your underskirts off the bottom of the car & see how much room there is to mount the projector boxes.

can i just take the 92-96 fog projector and put it into my foglight or do i need to make the whole assembly fit? if i can't take it apart, maybe i can take out my foglights altogether and mount those into the space.

If you can fit those fogs into current housing, it shouldn't be too hard. Thing is tho, 97 fog housings have those lines and im not sure how its going to look with those lines...

if i can get those fogs for cheap, i'm going to try it. i might just pull out the entire foglight and put these in somehow. hopefully it won't look too ghetto. i'd put the projectors into my foglight housing but i think the light wouldn't come out as nice since it has to go through so many lenses.
