  • Old Red got some fog lights

    Installed them today, still need to wire them. I think they look awesome

    Where I mounted them









    -93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.

    not to make a fuss, but i thought the square lights always looked better (fit the "face" of the car better). i'm still all about better lighting as long as it doesn't blind oncoming traffic.
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

            Yep These are from Wal-Mart, I really like the ovals because it's different and I like being different.

                Ironically, I have been looking for a couple sets for Cherry Bomb and Silver Bullet. I have been leaning toward rectangular myself, but have not ruled out the ovals. I'm still shopping around trying to find the ones that jump out at me and yell "Pick me! Pick me!"

                  Looks good, I'm also a fan of the rectangular lights but thoses are small enough that they look pretty sharp. Just make sure you don't keep them on at all times like most people with fog lights.

                  All you need is a can of color-matched paint for the rear fender and you'll be stylin.

                    I've got some blue tint ovals I picked up at a garage sale for $2, never out of the box. I haven't decided whether to install. I was wanting the squares as well but I thought the blue tint of these would work well with the blue on my car.

                            Thanks collegeboi! I wanted the fogs to be subtle and to not stand out so much, thats why I got the smallest ones they had which happened to be ovals.

                              BUT... the bigger the reflector you have the more light they put out. i had a set of tiny little ones kind of like that, and i threw them against a wall cause they where junk... i liked the look of them alot... but the light output was junk... and if you want to get a good light for distance you have to go with a big smooth reflector and lense, if you get one with ribbing on the lense, some of the light is gonna be waisted out to the side... not strait forward where you want it. you also have to look at the way the beam is projected and then match it for what you are gonna be using it for. like my roof lights are for distance, so they have a very concentrated beam, but my reverse lights are a flat/ wide beam with a flood lense on them for seeing around the car and having the same amount of light on the ground everywhere. get what im saying? im not trying to change your mind about your lights, (i like the look of them and for 15 bucks you cant go wrong) im just telling you some of the info that i know so you dont have to find it out the hard way (i did and it cost me alot of time and money...) if you want more light but dont want to look like a fool like me... i was trying to make some lights fit behind my grill so they where hidden, but i never got around to it. just somthing to think about... and you have the right grill for it too.... even more to think about... i better stop lol
