Default Foglight Retrofit

Anyone ever do anything fancy with the foglights? I like the look of the IS300 fogs. I want to get a clear projector look but keep the yellow lights. Anyone know of anyone with this kind of mod?

Not exactly a foglight retrofit but CarbonGS custom fitted IS300 fogs on his GS. It looks pretty sweet!

^ He has the WIN Racing body kit and it's made of fiberglass so he just molded it into the kit IIRC.

I love the way his front end looks.

I searched. I didn't find anything at the time. Vlad's thread is about the lense not necessarily the foglight retro. I will look into what CarbonGS did.

Vlad I believe is currently working on the retrofit and in search of a lens. IIRC he said he's going to post a DIY for us some time in the future. He already has one side done.

Take a look at this thread here for some progress pictures. You can see how he mounted the projector.
