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 tongue.gif)

Thoughts? Alternative ideas?

That is very tempting... but doesn't the design of the stock fronts focus the light somewhat?

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) smile.gif

I'm just thinking they will look too narrow...

Well, do you want celebrity for being the first to do it or the righteous feeling of endless gratitude from the community?

...the choice is yours. laugh.gif

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.
