the fogs were no big, just had to make up some mounting brackets and put the fogs on.. the wiring was the hardest part. there not alot of room to put anything in the jeep. i also wish some of the relay wiring was longer to. ill make do though, i on to makeing the head lights will see how this goes...

Now I remember you and I talked about you doin a retro for the Bi-xenons... is this them? or did you just stay with the single beam HIDs?
But looks really good, they the same size as the NorCal ones?

hmmmm no, i wont be selling these. there are a few reasons why there super bright.
there a real projetor fog light the beam pattern is super nice. and with the HID'S it makes them even brighter.
you can get them tho..

Dude your just using Blazers? Thats sick! What color are you using? What HID kit?
I know those blazers are bright, we've had them on a few cars and I actually have a pair in my garage currently! They are factory for the C5 vettes and thats how we were turned onto them, saw a vette with bad *** lights at a car show and he said they were factory besides his HID retrofit.
