Opinions on Vertical Foglights

So what are your opinions on the stacked fog lights big over small .. i believe the big one acts as a DRL and the small one acts as a complement to the HID/halos at night

personally, I think its ugly as crap and aside from tinted windows, my very first mod will be to try and find a custom plastic insert, or have one made with LED strips ... I want something modern, not retro looking bulbs

plus, I think they should have made the bumper ports a little bigger... makes it look more aggressive to compliment whats under the hood

I wished they would have used led lights. Every time I replace a bulb they always only have one left, not a pair. Then the following week I have to do the same all over again.

Ilike them, but I would have preferred the Jay Leno concept version better.

They don't bother me at all. I like them fine, don't find them one bit "ugly"

Suprised that no one has mentioned removing 1 set for brake cooling ducts.

I totally agree with you on that, we have something in place like you mention a custom plastic insert with LEDs installed. LEDs are locked and loaded just waiting...

Will it be functionable like the stock set to cool the front brakes?
If so I'll be interested to learn more as to how they look and the price.
Thx

the bumper ports dont cool the brakes lol .... they are just for cosmetics ... the front bumper and splitter setup is what directs the air to cool the brakes...
