mtbalser Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Followed directions that came with kit, tapped into factory wiring and went through firewall by factory wire bumdle. Attached load wire to parking light lead. Pretty straight forward. Did add fuse between battery and relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Looking at this has me thinking about adding fogs to mine but with a slightly more different tack. Given that I do live in an area that has very dark roads outside of urban areas, I am considering these for fogs: http://www.piaa.com/automotive-lamps/hid-crosscountry.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbalser Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hella also has driving lights in the ff75 style, if intrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) The PIAA fogs have amber lenses which will help me with the dust storms we occassionally have down here. I did look at the Hellas but the packaging wasn't as neat as the PIAA (e.g. Internal Ballast). Edited November 17, 2012 by PrinzII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Recanting what I previously said, these Hellas are on my list: http://www.myhellalights.com/index.php/default/auxiliary-lamps/xenon-lamps/micro-de-premium-xenon/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbalser Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Prin, make sure you check out the patteren, Hella has diffrent grades of lights. That said Hella is a known commodity and provides good aux lighting. My kids live in Mesa and dust storms can be a bitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 mtbalser, One of the definitive criteria I am looking at for my driving/fog lights is that they are HID. As previously stated, driving in AZ presents its own set of challenges. a) I-17 from Camp Verde to Flagstaff: Pitch black, mountainous, and no guard rails at some points. It does snow at higher altitudes. AZ 87 from Chandler to Coolidge: Pitch black....period c) I-10 between Casa Grande and Tucson: Pitch black....period d) Severe thunderstorms during monsoon season sometimes preceeded by.... e) Dust Storms sometimes like the one from this July pictured below...

kc300c Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Wow! That's one way to prep your car for paint ... Do they make clear full body wraps similar to those stick-on invisible bras? If not, I would estimate hav ing to buy about 50 bras to cover an entire Edge. That would keep the paint from wearing off in sand storms.

tecknoguy Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 mtbalser - can you advise on the steps needed to remote the lower black plastic grille? Does the whole bumper have to come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbalser Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Tecknoguy, I did not remove the grill, I just cut out (with dremel tool) the grill were needed to place the fogs. If you do a search there are directions available on how to remove the grill and bumber. Not a big job from what I've read. Hope this helps, if not let me know.

2Close2TheEdge Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I drive 1200Km over the Rocky Mountains every month. I prefer to drive all night and deal with professional truck drivers with deadlines to keep and not during the day when all the looky loos are out enjoying the views instead of whats ahead of them on the road. iI find the projection headlight pattern to be inadequate at best. I too have tried to find an aftermarket light that would not take away from the stock look of the sport. I choose the http://www.rigidindustries.com/v/rigidcatalog/obj/pageflipdata/pages/print/SR-Series20inch.pdf ***As soon as I can figure out how to take a night shot that works I'll repost them*** Edited March 6, 2013 by 2Close2TheEdge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobyellow Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Those look sick. I think I'd get pulled over driving around with that in New York tho =( haha In PA, I'm fairly sure that you can only have 'two' active light sources. So with headlights and 'fogs' (not really fogs), the 'lightbar' would make 'three'. A ticket might be issued. Also, I don't think a center mounted light is allowed. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
