The fog light lens was originally clear and it didn't have the "Golden Yellow" color that I was looking for so I purchased this "Yellow Fog Light Film" found on ebay and it made a world of difference.
Click the below youtube pic to watch the video, this shows the warmup phase, the last 2 seconds is the fully warmed up...
Here's the old setup with matching low beam and fogs with white LED in middle...
I actually want to try something different, I've ran 10000k, 8000k and 3000k, but I want to try dual 4200k or 6000k and see how that works out. Anyone in AZ interested in buying the above HID kits, $50 a kit? :P

I went back and forth on this so many times, I finally decided to use them myself. If I didn't have the projectors already I would've gotten some LS460's but I think I'll be happy with these for a while. If I get sick of them, I can always sell them next fall when the car goes into storage and start over with something else. The Q45's are old news on CL but I know they'll turn some heads locally, nothing like that around here!
I've got one light almost ready to go back together, just need to get the rotational alignment right and secure everything. This is my first retro in a reflector headlight and it's going well so far. The only scary part was cutting the turn signal tube. I was afraid I was gonna cut a little too far and destroy the whole trim piece.

Brian, I haven't taken any pics, if you remember the oversize poor quality ones I sent you of the projectors you'll understand why. I'm real bad with pictures. I'll figure something out to get pics up when I get the car all back together and out for the summer, hopefully soon. My bumper should be back from the body shop this weekend. I had the side markers shaved while it was getting repaired and repainted.
I'm going to try to mount the first projector in a few minutes. I've been taking things slow so I don't mess it up. Hopefully this works or I'll need to figure something out for brackets; These projectors are fairly heavy, I want to make sure they're solid in there.
