It's cold and it's getting late, but I'm determined to get these fogs put on tonight....I can't get the airdam off right now, and it seems I won't be able to mount the fogs in the stock openings....but would it be ok to just drill the holes right into the airdam opening? I was going to put on my tow hooks today too but because of other problems I had to postpone it...


Would it be alright if I mounted them like

So they are real close to the center? Will this affect the beam pattern and everything? Or should I temporarily mount them in the middle and then move them out to the stock whole later? Or is there an easy way of mounting them in the stock holes? I need them pretty close to the middle because I need space for the tow hooks and straps.
 






Well I did try to draw a picture but that didn't turn out well. I was trying to draw something like them being about a foot or foot and a half off apart in the middle of the air dam opening.
 






It doesnt make much difference,,,,,,,mount them where you can.
If you dont like it...change them in the Spring.
 






I ended up mounting them in the middle. Looks better than I expected. Couldn't get the wiring right to run them off of the parking lights despite following all the directions. The relay and everything are there though so I can change them up later on if I choose but it's been too cold and dark to really try and figure everything out. Plus it wasn't much fun when my friend backed out of helping me. Based on the time I had and the conditions I was working in, I had to take the easiest method of mounting them since I had to be back at school today. So far I'm pleased.
