Got mine from tito07tc, both lens's are broken, but I've already fabricated new ones out of Lexen. 250 times stronger than glass (got the good stuff). Will be removing the shattered lens tomorrow and installing the new ones.

Question, never used H3 bulbs before, but I have (+)/(-) wires I'll be running to an LED bulb for the fogs. I noticed the H3 bulbs only come with 1 connector....so how would I go about connecting it?

Its built into the rear of the fog light, the positive is on the light bulb part sticking out and obvious, the negative is part of the fog light housing and the outer side of the bulb. Its hard to explain if I had a pic id show u but I don't sorry man

Hey guys one of my fog lights (passenger side) seems to be less brighter than the other side and a couple of times I had to hit it for it to turn on. Anyone know if its the bulb or wiring?

When u hit it and it turns on means its deffinitely something to do with your connections. Check all your wires and mare sure they are all properly making contact with the sockets.

Hey thanks for the quick reply, well that was a week ago when I had to hit it for it to turn on, but now its been turning on fine. The problem is that it looks dimmer than the other side. Is that still the connections?

Maybe by u hitting it, the wires got back into place. But as for the dimmer one, maybe its ur lense. Sometimes they fog up and u just need to take em' out and clean them. Or it can simply be your bulb.
OR, lol, it can also be that the bulb is not sitting right and is facing downwards, which causes just a portion of the bulb to illuminate. Check all those things.

Restoration completed, wired up and installed. They work perfect. To get them to do what I wanted, I had to get creative with the wiring part. Will post pictures up later today.
