Default Help 97+ fog lights wont fit in my sc300!!!!!!!!!!

Hi i have a 92 sc300 with a 97+ front end.. I also have 97+ fog lights.. one side the lights fit perfectly..the other side the fog lights dont go in because the AC lines are in the way? Is there a way around this ?

The AC line is in the way? Looks like there is no other way around it unless you can move/bend the line a bit without breaking it.

Yep, you gotta "reform" those lines a bit for it to fit.


btw, there is an art to doing it right

btw2, you're lucky you're not adding some IC piping into the mix as well

Not sure i've seen one since nobody asked other than you. This would be a great start for you to create your first DIY

I have that same conversion and both of my fogs are in but it was done by a shop. I will go check first thing in the morning to see what they did and how they did it and let you know.

I don't believe so, but I install and service A/C units for my income in the summer. Basically you can bend the line with zero issues as long as you do not kink the line in any way. The key is taking your time to get a nice smooth bend.

Exactly.

wow i didn't know about this. you'd figure it would have already been covered since so many have done the conversion.

Agreed, i would think its just splice the wires and matte the two, but then again i have a 95 with real fogs.

I would like to see a DIY.
