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!

I would say that the sharpness of the light is not on par with HID projectors. Matt |

so....
I just got off the phone with Terra @ J.W. Speaker and asked her " How in the hell do you mount these fog lights? " She told me they have no mounting brackets, no screws or bolts to connect to, no nothing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I asked her for some idea and told her i wanted them for a 914 application. She told me sorry, that is not what they were intended for. They are for motorcycles or a direct replacment for newer par 36 automobiles. Now how are we going to mount these little devils ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Are you sure you were talking about the same model?
Clearly the picture of the Model 8415 shows mounting tabs. This is a new unit that is being released in November. Maybe the sales person you were talking to was confused. Further, I never intended these to be a bolt on solution. As with most non-factory lights, this will take a few custom metal tabs and a trip to the hardware store. Matt so....
