Can anyone tell me the dimensions of factory fog lights and or Camp914 pilot lights? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Depth & diameter etc. After a bunch of poking around, all I have seen is everyone doing the same thing or adding large bolt on rally style lights. Thanks for your help guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Matt Update: Dropped the $ and got a set of Speaker 4.5" high end LED lights (Hi/low switchable) Took a ratty set of fog housings: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img85.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.1.jpg) Mounted: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img4.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.2.jpg) Up-close low beam: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img690.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.3.jpg) Crappy picture farther back (tough to get these photo with a cell phone): (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img513.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.4.jpg) Having run real Hid projectors before, the light output is just about a bright. I would say that the sharpness of the light is not on par with HID projectors. Matt |

"I have the Camp914 Pilots on the Red car, and can't adjust them low enough so I don't get highbeamed by oncoming traffic, and still make them usable. If I were to do it again, I'd go with refurbing a set of factory fogs. The mounting is just too low to be any good as driving lights."
It's not like I haven't said THAT about a hundred times ............................ The Cap'n |
