Ah sweet, thanks for the advice! I've cut off the 4 tabs in the inside of the pocket to temp place ebay fogs right now, but you mentioned that I also need to trim both sides of each pocket to accommodate the Inspire's... will look into that before I remove the bumper.
They didn't make brackets. They just cut holes and shoved the fogs in there. They also have 03-05's, and you have an '06 right?
When I had the 03-05 what Tim said was right.. we just cut it and shoved the fogs in there... Now I have the 06-07 front which is much easier and safer... Lex dremeled all the space needed and he put a few tapping screws so the fogs don't fall out, extremely secure and steady.. You could PM him..
I hope Lex didn't have subframe problems either. What's his online name? Sry, not too familiar with these forums.
So general consensus is 1) If you leave the jacket on and mount it, it will hit the subframe of the car? I'm about to put my dupe Inspire fogs in and would love to know before I start hacking away =P
Btw, I have an 06' bumper, if that makes a difference...
I also bought myself a pair of those inspires planning to retro with Blazer fogs. They arrived last week but I need to drop by tomorrow to pick it up (Express Mail requires signature of listed receiving person, not even an agent!)
I can see why you're doing a conversion. What happened to your bumper?
I hit a chunk of snow/ice on the way down from Mt Baldy. I'm also doing a 03-05 to 06 front end conversion, so I bought Inspire fog replicas for the 06 bumper.
I have the older Blazers that I plan on retroing into my fogs. I found them on egay for about 25 shipped. The egay user was papsandme. HTH. As for the bulbs, I'm going to use 3000k 880's. I was about to convert them to d2s but said fuck it.
I'm planning to do a 06-07 front-end conversion have just bought Ebay fog's to match it. Has anyone done a Foglight retro before? I've seen many people state that it's been done, but no actual threads on it or DIYs on such a project.
1) I plan on retrofitting Blazer fog projectors into Ebay 06'07' foglight housings. My ebay's are metal - is that normal? sounds like a lot of dremel work on metal.
I was thinking of putting all 24 in one row, and wiring them in 6 series of 4 LEDs each. Wires would be above and below the row of LEDs. Prob going to go out to RadioShack today and pick up a perfboard. Do you have LEDs and a voltage regulator on hand that i may be able to mooch off of you?
