How did you wire your harness as to keep the lows powered when engaging the highs?

I have a pair of hybrid TL/ZKW's that I would love to retro into a pair of clear headlights like yours.

Looks good Mike.

Just an FYI about your lower driving/fog lamps and fogs built into the headlamp housing.

I was stopped some years back for having more than four lamps on while on a public roadway. He cut me loose with a warning luckily.

Thanks Mike for the info,but the small bumper projectors are my fogs and can only come one with my headlights. The upper fogs come on with the highbeam switch and then all other lights are off. So I can use those upper fogs as a DLR but at 100% voltage......

Buy the way I will get some night pics up soon.
I was next to a LS430 the other night and my output was much better and wider, I am running a 5000K bulbs.I believe it is do to the custom lense and the rechroming of the bucket.

That's a good light combo. Don't want the LEO's to take the fine comb and nit pick in the event the car grabs their attention.

I like the 430 projectors...will be interesting to see your night pics.

Very nice , I think the fogs closer to the original spot on that bumper would give it a nicer stance . Now if you could make a matching housing for the fog lights as the headlights it would be mint.

If I ever get some original fogs and the corners I would clear them and do it.
I have a number of small projectors that would fit.


Buy the way SK I will be in Buffalo for Xmas, visiting my family !

Let me know when you are around I usually head out there to go shopping at Burlington coat factory before the holidays.

I would not wast time clearing the oem fogs. Use the template you have and cut some clear lexan , and use another fog light or headlight inner shroud for a more complete look to match your headlights better as they have there own unique style.
