How do you turn on the "fog light" inside the headlights circled in red in the picture below? I have a 2008 coupe. I know the first turn sets it to auto, the second turns on the "parking light" (correct me if I'm wrong) and the third switch turns on both headlights and parking light. I've read elsewhere that later models have an actual fog light switch. Mine does not have this.
I was also thinking of switching the light circled in purple to a whiter color. What bulb number is it, a 2825? Thanks!

there is a fog light switch that you can turn on as if you're turning on the headlights. you just need to look again!

Yes, I only want to install the rings, maybe a TSX lens swap too although that's lower priority. The kit I have in mind is the Umnitza Predator Chromium:

30-50 minute complete install using standard hand tools per side.
No More Mounting Clips <---- What does this mean? Does it use double side tape?

Looking for advice on how to replace the reflector to clear illuminated like in pic2 (Will I get a ticket for not having that reflector?). Maybe do a light strip but is so Audi like.

To remove them, you'll need to bake open the lights and melt off (yes, melt with a lighter) the plastic tabs behind it. It's not very hard to do. But if you've never done it before, it could seem a little scary.
The hard part is you'll need to make a clear version of those :/

Should be good!
Technically it is illegal. I think it's a US DOT regulation that each car must have front and rear reflectors. But is it something cops will pull you over for? Probably not.

The best way is to make a mold of the orange reflector so it has all the tiny pyramids. Then make a piece by pouring clear resin into the mold (coat the mold with mold release first so resin won't stick to it). This way you'll create a replica of the orange reflector, except in clear. But I think it's more work than it's worth so I never did it. There is a lot of stuff online you can find on how to make clear plastic pieces and simple molds.
Good luck.

Forgive the dead thread resurrection, but I thought it was better to post here instead of starting a new one.
Does anyone know what size (in millimeters) CCFL rings are needed to DIY angel eyes? I'm looking to do a headlight project this winter and I'm trying to order the parts to take advantage of some black friday pricing. Thanks!
