Great... sounds good.

Anyone wanna buy my setup then? I'm not putting another $300 in for another bumper.

The bulbs and the HID kit and the assembly should fit i'd think. But not 100% on that, and the bumper inserts won't fit at all.

Very little work required.
Here are the fogs
(( CLEAR )) PROJECTOR HALOGEN FOG DRIVING LIGHTS KIT*EX: eBay Motors (item 350356310725 end time Oct-16-10 08:12:29 PDT)
The mounting brackets they come with are perfect. Just drill a hole in the bumper bar and in the cover and bolt them in.

Not sure how big the OEMs are but these are very compact. They are 880 bulbs. I have a DDM 3k kit in them.

it is not HID bulbs, it is halogen fog lights.... why not switch halogen's to HID bulbs ... most aftermarket single beam HIDs fit to fog light housings...

and assembled with mounting brackets... like this standard 880 HID kit http://www.vvme.com/standard-8808818...cPath=44_45_32
