Now that I have projectors and crystal style front indicators, I was considering trying to replace my OEM fog lights with as similar design as possible in a crystal look.
This is what I have come up with so far - fog lights from the previous generation Land Cruiser Prado;    I think they are roughly the same height... but probably only 2/3rds the width (My mate promptly chimed in at this point to do it and use the gap to run air vents for the brakes  )Thoughts? Alternative ideas? --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

It would need to have a custom bracket and everything made - here are some available relatively near me that I was thinking about (shows the design well) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/indooroopil...sale/1021798574 I'm just thinking they will look too narrow... -------------------- SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

Buy fogs from VII Celica. They have projectors and it will focus light correctly. Then You place projectors in VI fogs and cover it with clear glass.
