Fog lights

Had my front bumper off waiting for UPS to deliver my Halo turn signals and boredom kicked in.

Kragen special fogs for $19.99





I spliced into the side markers wiring to get the power, align, stick and ziptied.



Done and still no UPS

Finished product, took a spin around the neighborhood and everything seems to work fine.

They look like they need to be spaced down about 1/4 - 3/8".

Yes, except that you tied into the side marker lights for power, so does this mean you're one of those idiots who drives around with your fog lights on any time any of your lights are on...... annoying the crap out of other drivers so that you can look "cool"?

Or were you a smart MINI owner who knows fog lights are only supposed to on in low visibility conditions, and put a switch in like the factory does?

i particularly enjoy looking cool myself.... it only really annoys a select few.

if they care to show me that it annoys them, they can just get used to my brights instead...


least theyre not HIDs in a Camry or something...

What halo turn signals did you get? I had bought the ones from Moss MINI but I ended up breaking one of the brackets off one of them trying to get them to fit...
