And of course those projectors in the link above are not DOT certified, or atleast it does not state that in the auction.....

Alright hooray, I had to go to work so my friend's younger brother installed them in. So here's how they look the ebay ones.

Image

Testing the whole foglamp.

Image

Testing angeleye

Image

Foglamp assembly, connected, red and black wires belong to the angeleye, basic unplug original bulb and plug into socket and done

Image

Big view I suppose

Image

Angel eye wired to corner light, light is kinda weak, one is a lil brighter than the other I had same prob. original foglights. Found there was some brighter output more towards the opposite direction in the dimmer foglight if that makes any sense. Said ***k it tired and left it.

Image

Actual foglamp on, bright as hell, headlights covered with towels

Image

Foglight output in driveway into garage.

Image

Output from side view

Overall a lil disappointed with angeleye output but the actual foglamp is bright as hell, I wired to corner light cuz I wanted it on all the time since I do plan on get projector headlights and to stay with just parking lights is that why a weak angeleye?

another better front view

Image

As you can see, the left one( drivers side) is outputing some light more towards inside the vehicle while the right side isn't that much. friend was telling me we might be able to push the angeleye lil more towards the front, told him we'll deal with it later, overall I like it.

I'm really considering getting these.

What kind of mounting hardware did they supply?

I had to use some cheap ass wire tires to zip tie the freaking useless brace they supplied. So my foglights are behind held to my SRT bumper with zip ties. GHETTO.

But I like the idea of foglight projectors a LOT.

BTW how did you wire them into your turning lights? Are you using a switch or just wired them in with the other harness?

The mount is basically the same as the OEM part fits perfectly, but you since you have zip ties, would mostly likely need a self locking nut I believe its was a 10 mm wrench we used.

As you can see in one of the pictures the actual default wiring it comes with red and black wires and a plug for the light, basically plug into existing wiring and then wire the red and black wires to your corner lights. Since my corner lights are always on, so are my angel eyes, you could make a switch outta of it but I didn't feel like doing it, one of my foglights seems to gettin dimmer but it might be because something with my wiring I'm gonna have to check it again later.
Heh.
