Talking HID fog install pics

Took a few pics today thought I would post them. The fog kit came from Moblie HID (Very happy with the kit, great customer service!!) The Low beams are 8000k, the fogs are 3000k. I also removed the side reflector....no more ugly orange!!

Very very very nice. Can you post some pics and steps for opening up the headlight assembly? I am very close to removing the reflector as well. It is driving me nuts. I am sure you put it in the oven and then opened it up? Did you use any ATV or other caulk?

Yes I put it in the oven, and used tons and tons of caulk. Once you have the headlight out the reflector just pops out. I will look for the link that I used to take it apart. This is the second time I have done this. I remembered how to do it from last time. First time took about 8 hours , second time only about 4

Thanks for the comments. I also paited the lower grill gloss black since I had the bumper off. I think it looks really good when you are close up.

The light on the side is clear when turned off. You can't notice it when its off......looks very clean IMO. To take out the headlights I used the instructions that were given to me by Advanced Auto Concepts. That is where I got my Halo kit from. I will search around the house for it, I may have tossed it.

That would be great if you could post that. Either scan it into a JPEG or PDF file. You would make a lot of Cl members very happy!! My props to you.

looks nice without the orange, but also looks like something is missing. maybe someone can find a clear reflector to put in there?
