You think those fogs will take a beating, just because they are so low....since they are projectors whatdaya think of a plexiglass cover in front of them cut to shape of pastic bumper cutout?
No, I'll roll them as is. I'm basing this off of todays new cars and trucks, quite a few of them come with projector fogs just like this. I don't think they'll take that much of a beating.

Wait a minute, are those sitting on your hood????
just laying on it for pics. Needs a cut and buff anyway

Oh my god, so many ideas now. I’ve always hated how our stock fogs give off zero light. Might just have to copy this idea. Still need to do my Denali headlight retro too

So have the projectors apart to paint the shroud for a demon eye look while projectors are off. Undecided on what color I want. A choice of white , red , blue , black. My truck is blue and headlights will be all black. Leaning towards blue or black.View attachment 199497View attachment 199498View attachment 199499View attachment 199500View attachment 199501

My vote would be the blue or white. The blue is matchy matchy and the white just gives it that sick zombie eye thing lol, both look good wonder how they respond to different color demon leds being added to the mix.

White paper for visual . Not sure because its flat that it doesn't show real good. Maybe gloss white would pop more

Got some led bulbs for the high beam (9005)
Since I won't be using the high beam reflector side I spliced this into the drl so now I have a drl back since I did the dual turn mod.
Don't mind the bumper lol. Or the grille. Or the messy garage. Or anything else. In the middle of 10 truck and house projects at once lol

Why aren't you using your high beam reflectors? Mine have a pigtail connected with the shutters on my bi-zenons so when I hit high I get the reflector high beam along with the HID and it's amazing.

The bixenon is all I really need , the reflectors just throw the light all over the place , places I don't want, especially in snow storms. Plus remember I have the bixenon fogs , which is probably all I need anyway lol

That white does not show through very well at all. When I redo my headlights I will probably go blue after seeing these example. Maybe red though, it does pop nicely.
Yea I think the paper is a bad example, maybe. I try a gloss white and also yellow and green. Obviously not my choices for my specific build, but nice to see what it looks like for others. Always love to help, especially with something thats never been done before so that way others have an idea of how it looks:cheers:
No rush on these lights now that it's 24 hr daylight :blah:

I could definitly see how a higher gloss would reflect more light and might be better, paper does soak up a lot of light. Wonder if you can do a two tone?

Most the big things with the lift and drivetrain are wrapping up, so for now I get sometime to focus on fun stuff like lights and stereo. Gonna dig through your thread and the light mods threads again for ideas.

24hr daylight :Whoa: I like night too much for all that

I love 24 daylight , but not everyday , for 3 months straight lol. I miss the dark , especially to show off my lighting mods lol. I have a few lighting mods and all are wallet friendly so don't sweat it lol.
