IPL/Aerodynamic Bumper Swap Idea.
So I just finished hooking my fogs up. Yesterday I tried the whole wheel well thing, leaving the wheel in place. Dirty and awkward and I have no idea how people manage that...I put the car back together. Last night looking at the light placement, I figured that maybe I could just do the lights from the top. I looked, found the following thread:
https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...acement-7.html
It talks about just changing the bulbs, and indeed confirms that the top is the best way to change fog bulbs. I pulled the air intake boxes (see the how to half way down the page in the above link) and opened the fog back EASILY. I didn't want to cut the wires, so I just disconnected them and pulled them back into the fog light cap (see pic). THis got them out of the way of the connectors on the back of the light and got me a bunch more wire to work with. I slapped on my t-connectors on the fog wires, hooked my fogs in a voila! Working fogs! The beautiful part of this, is that it's completely reversible...that was important for me.
So, anyway, worked for me, might not work for others but figured I'd share!

You need to remove those plastic backs with the screw hole from the old bumper and put it on the new one.
Looks like the sale is over Glad I picked one up when I did

you guys talk about getting the pigtail for the fog light... But getting the pigtail H11 is ONLY if you are installing regular halogen bulb right??
Because from what i can see on the HID kits, I can just plug and play, don't even need to slice any wires.. (unless you are going for double fog light power)

over the weekend i installed my fogs for my bumper since i didnt want to spend the near $100 for a new one so i just put a heat gun to my old one and i was able to make enough room for the fogs to clear i checked for leaks before i reinstalled its been 4 days n no problems

Just thinking...
The top right hand side... The two red/black wires, you can just plug them into the oem fog socket...?? No spicing wires... Just need to tape it up nicely. Then you save yourself a couple dollars and wait time...
