hey thats exactly what i was thinking....

with the general shape of our headlamps and lower faux vent cut outs, it would look alot like the is300's. The is300 yellow fogs look pretty good too and are pretty practical.

i know someone will eventually come with some but it's all about, when. I say in San Diego so fog can be pretty bad sometimes. hopefully they'll come out not too long after i finally get my tC....if i ever get my tC.

Default Fog lights behind the lower grill

I just put some sweet fog lights behind my lower grille, man does it look BA for all you non Dane Cook fans, thats Bad ___ I custom made brackets and used some existing screw holes on the frame to mount them. Write me back if you want anymore info on how to do that. It is quite easier to do rather than taking the bumper cover off and all that stuff. gfella4@comcast.net

Problem with the corner vent location is, there's no real solid metal behind it to support anything. You will most like have to fabricate brackets that extend from the radiator area. A lot of work. I've been struggling with this sincw last summer when I bought my car. really want to use the hella projectors I got at the corner holes behind the plastic covers with a hole drilled through them, but I couldn't find an easy way to hang the lights from that area without fabbing up a complicated bracket. It also scared me that I think the airbag sensors are mounted in the closest area where you might bolt up a bracket against (white capsule looking thing with wires running from it.). I don't want to get too clost to those and cause some sort of accidenta deployment because an electrical spark somehow arcs from the fabbed up light brackets to those sensors while I'm driving.
Oh well, I have this whole next summer to figure it all out.

yea, like that. do they shine on the road well? i looked on my tc and i cant find any mounting spots that would allow for them to be seen on the road, the light hits the inside of the bumper.

I mounted mine underneath the bumper reinforcer with some 3M double sided tape.
I still have to adjust mine a bit the correct way ( aiming them when shining at a wall about 30 feet away ).

Other than that, the light output isn't that bad and i have a nice cutoff

guys, like i said before, Im going to install foglights on my car, i have HIDs on the headlights, if i install the fogs with HIDs too will it over power my car and melt the wire???? Also do I connect it to the headlight wire? or do it seperately to the battery??? because i just bought a black and red 12 gauge wire for the fogs and i wanted to know if thats all i need, because I think I always want the fogs on.
