Has anyone tried this foglight kit?

I found this fog light kit from blinglights.com(http://www.blinglights.com)

http://8007610235.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=4948448

Has anyone tried this kit?

My R55 did not come with fog light. I wonder this kit fits well into my fog light spot. This kit includes H3 bulb for fog light and LEDs for driving light. I don't mind doing extra wiring and adding a separate switch for fog light.

Thanks,

I Have blinglight fogs in my Armada. They are 4 years old and have been reliable until this year. The spring that holds the H-3 light in place starts to corrode and it makes the light go out. You can clean it up and it lasts a while, I really only have a problem when it is exposed to a salty road after a snow storm. If I knew this up front I would put some hitemp grease in there up front and they would be working a little longer. I ended up going LED H3 which runs cooler and eliminates the contact problem, looks good outside the car, but is really dim. The stock 55W H3 is much brighter. If I compare the Blinglight pattern to the stock R53 pattern the Blinglight wins in brightness and pattern. Compared to an R56 stock fog it is about a tie. Pattern works great in heavy fog, especially if you can turn off your headlights. You probably wont like the on off switch, it's a little bulky. I would definitely buy again for that Nissan Armada application. They are really universal lights and we don't have a lot of space on our Mini's so maybe get the instructions before you buy.

I purchased some Blinglight foglights (3" diameter) and am trying to figure how to install them in the stock turn signal space (R53-S) and put the turn signal in the stock foglight position. Anyone ever do this before? I remember seeing a thread that someone has done it and it looked really nice. I am just trying to figure out HOW to do it. I took off my bumper and light housings but stopped there because I did not want to start having to jimmy rig anything.
