Tasteful aftermarket fogs to fit in rieger bumper w/ RS4 style mesh

**NastyNogaro** · 08-09-2008 05:06 PM

Hey,

Just wondering which aftermarket fogs you guys recommend. I have a rieger FB with an FMIC but I can fit fogs with the way my pipes are routed.

Anyone know a good place and or specific product I could pick up? I was looking on ebay but some of these companies sound fishy/ricey. (BlingLights, Kustom Kraft, etc).

Looking for a relatively small foglight in size, and I would prefer it to be "shallow" in terms of how far back the housing goes.

I know this is sort of a vague request and a shot in the dark but the OEM fogs are too expensive and IMO don't look as good as some of the aftermarket kits I've seen so far.

I also want to do yellow fogs, but I can always get lamin-x so I'll settle for anything, as long as someone has had a positive experience with them.

I can't help you other than I've had yellow Lamin-X.. It's GREAT. Really makes the light a really bright yellow.

the led strips are pretty sweet

**NastyNogaro** · 08-09-2008 09:14 PM

can you wire up LED strips to the stock fog wiring?

If so I may go that route..

I just don't like the plugs hanging on both sides inside the bumper.. figured I might as well put them to good use.

I did see that, but I'm looking for something that will fit flush in the bumper openings. I don't mind buying from ebay but I want to make sure I'm not buying crap

if you want a sick yellow, go with the Philips D2S HID 3000k kit. if you want just a little bit of yellow,you can get the lamin-x with some $20 yellow bulbs.

p.s.- if you do lamin-x, get the sheets not the pre-cut fog kit. mine didnt fit well nor did a few of my friends. if you get the sheet it ends up being the same price,but you can cut it to fit perfectly.

Thanks guys. Very good options/advice so I'm gonna have a tough decision. However, I don't think LED strips are the right choice right now. They're just too... wanna-be-ish. lol

Kyle: Check this out. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2565748 To run them I need OEM HID ballasts with D2 plugs. Where could I find those?

I PM'ed him for measurement info and such. Do you think that would be a good buy? I mean for 90 shipped with bulbs and housings, seems legit. Plus he's an AZ'er!

Side note Kyle, any word on the exhaust swap? I am ready when u r.

touche. I only know of the philips because Mike (daseighty) runs them and they look sick. take a look at this kit,with ballasts: http://www.xenonpros.com/mc3000k.html

...and mcullough is a very good quality product.

if youre interested in that philips with housings you need to keep in mind you need ballasts to run them i believe,and theyre pretty pricey. if its housings you need i have an extra set kickin around that we can work on getting to you if you wanted them..

about the exhaust,i talked to derek and was waiting on a PM from you awhile ago. i never heard back! so PM me and let me know what you wanna do...i'm ready.

yo homies, I am ready whenever you two are.

btw I have a set of aftermarket HID' fogs laying around my apartment. the harnesses doesn't match up, but you seem to know your wiring shit, so it would be an easy fix. let me see if i can dig them up.

Definitely know my way around wiring. I am lucky to have a father that I watched for years with electrical equipment.

Thanks as always man, you're always hookin it up. Lemme kno!

I am going back to philly the 23rd for school. If we can bang the exhaust out before then at Clint's, let me know.

Hella FF75 mounted directly to the bumper support. Great output. And yes, those black headlights were only temporary and are long gone. Stock S4 hid with manual level control are in there now.
