Way ahead of you. I'm almost done with mine. But it's just cheap projectors, and I'm redoing the halo rings i already had on there. I didn't feel like spending another $120 for the Minis

Okay right now I'm reheating the headlight to get all the old sealant off so when I get ready to reseal them I will have a clean surface. This is a busy week for me with work and Bday is friday so my friends are taking me out in a limo to a club. So I'm hoping to get these on the car either sat. or definitely sun. Will have pics for you guys as usual






Yes those are things you would need!

Not yet. I bought the ebay "cheapass" projector fog lights, and then I took them apart and upgraded the internals with the Clear Lens and an actual CCFL halo ring. haven't done anything with the OEM fogs since I never had the OEM ones to see how they are assembled.

Tooslow you need to see if you can find some from a junkyard so you can familiarize yourself with them. Question for you spoke to that company about the acrylic ring. This guy told me they do have the rings in white or other colors,but once I paint over it light will not emit through it. Should I still get it?

if you use tint spray, the light will still shine through, just not as bright. I was looking around on that site I sent you the link to, and i didn't see any in the size for a 70mm ring. I would have to keep searching around

I may buy a set of OEM fogs off ebay or something. Can't find any altima parts in Junk yards locally

Yeah I spoke with them they measure in inches. So 1 inch equal 25.4mm.Therefore, 70mm is like 2.755 inches. I'm going to order them.Anywhere I can get tint spray locally? Maybe I will just leave them clear!

Lmao it's all good man.It will be well worth it.I think the more time you take the better. It's not good to rush this. Either way I know you are going to do something special.
