Custom wiring from the fog wiring in the engine bay that goes by the battery to the fogs all the way through the firewall to the stock switch stalk. I can turn them on independently as long as the ignition is on

That's awesome, thanks! I'm sure there's a write up on it somewhere here. I'll just have to find it.

Nope, there isn't as far as I know. My guy was supposed to write it up but he's been busy and never finalized the write up

It is custom, KP module is SH@# ... let me tell you, I had it installed by a dude who installed it previously on a few sedans, guess what happened, my windows were stuck open half way most of them and wouldn't go down nor go up, had to remove everything and it started working again, KP technologies module is the dumbest thing ever, plus it malfunctions and when you have the fogs off, and use right (I think) turn signal then the right side fog goes on with it, which has been previously reported by others who got their KP installed... KP modules are complete chit and outdated without any current support for current models.

Also, like I said in my previous post, once you slide the pins in all the way, they stay locked, so make sure you connect the pins (leads) the right way so that when you plug the connector in, the red wire connects to the blue (purple) wire, and black to black. Hope it makes sense!
Thanks again for this post. I installed the driver's side today, and this was helpful.

And yes... there is a 1/16" gap, give or take. It's noticeable if you look for it, because the OEM fitment is flush against the lens. Meh, whatever. This chit happens when you mod the car.

Obviously I was just having fun when complaining about the potential for gap in the fitment... it is what it is. And it's hardly worth noting. (Even though we do, LOL)

Here's another observation that no one mentioned: the rectangular reflector component inside the fog assembly is clearly visible in the way the light emits from the unit, and that's fine. However the way the assembly is fitted to the bumper means that this rectangular image is about 5* to 10* off-level, and not perpendicular to the car. It's a pretty minor observation, but still... once you see it, you can't un-see it.

Which ones do you have the first gem that were the ones in the group buy with chrome housings or with black housings ? The first gen I'm pretty sure you can't adjust the aim but the second gen I have you can

I was part of the group buy so it must be first gen. Would it be possible to change the back housing to second gen. It seems to be held up by two screws in the back.

Yea , long over, ended in November, but it's okay don't feel bad because a while ago since then they released the 2nd ( upgraded/improved) gen of these fogs which are even better, and I'm not saying the 1st gen are bad, but these just have improved optics, black housing inside , and an even better light output.

This is a picture of my driver and passenger 2nd gen fog lights. The drivers side is perfectly flat but the passenger side is off by at least 10*. Thankfully it's higher on the right side of the road so it highlights more of the trees but it's still a noticeable difference. Because of how hot and wet it's been, and how complicated it is to access the passenger side light, I haven't tried to readjust it.
