What a great retro for the fogs...my next project for sure!!!! did you ended up using the dual element socket 7443 and bulbs to mod the turn signals also??? white to amber??
I think it changes the DRL look entirely. Great to see you like the mod also. Would love to see some output pics for the fogs when you get a chance!!! Very intrested in doing this for my car..

Nicely done
However IMHO it would be a better idea to connect only one of the turn signals with parking lights wire or DRL and let the other one fuction as turn signal. Would be much more useful

Vertical adjustment is slightly different between the two.
You also aimed them high for fogs, but you've sure got some powerful lights on the road now.
Those beastly FX-Rs own the embarassing output of the IS250 bixenon projector.
If it were me, I would have stuck to the same color temperature for all, so that the colors blend in better. I'm still jealous as heck though. Props to you on a great retro job, and on fixing up your bumper and other juicy mods!

Yea, I'm thinking about the color matching too...but then I gotta buy all new bulbs :-P
I've spent enought time and money this time around already.
I'm going to readjust the projectors when I have time, they are aimed pretty high.
I'll get my bro to take some pics with his pro gear sometime. Thanks guys!
