LOL thanks. I connected the halos to the main headlight and fogs to the stock fog wires so that i can manually turn it on and off. I had to use 3M electrical connectors so that i dont have to cut the wires

good work, I think you could of spent more money and gone with the 2011 oem fogs which are angled in already, used a pigtail to conect to wire harness and be dun. But good job.

hmm. do you mean halos to city lights and foglights to the stock foglights? Where did you get these lights and how are they mounted? Any clearance issues with the windshield washer reservoir?
Any more pics?

When I did my bumper swap for the 2011 sport bumper I used this pigtail going from the 2011 fogs to the current wire harness in the 2008 so I could turn on fogs just like how you normally do...I just have 4 fogs

I bent two metal pieces into 90 degrees so that it is perpendicular to the fog and the plastic piece. Since the fog lights came with screws on the side, i just added the metal pieces and screwed it on.
