Blazer Fog Light Retro

So I pulled the trigger on this not too long ago. I've been lurking around "Yota Toy"s thread (http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/171829-blazer-fogs-factory-fog-housing.html) and finally finished the Blazer Fog Light Retro. Thanks Yota Toy for answering some questions I had. His thread was very easy to follow.

The kit was purchased from TRS and the heat sinks were purchased here:

UPDATE: Just google SKU: GWACS021 and get your 28mm heatsinks there
GWS Heat Sink for 28mm Inrunner type motors
SKU Number:GWACS021

He mentioned that he did the "Wire-Down Mod". That wire down mod can be found here: http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/sho...OEM-Reflector.&p=314211&viewfull=1#post314211

Here are some pics. I have not done the wire done mod yet and I plan to do so during my time off for the Veteran's Day holiday. I also need to aim them a tad bit higher.















That last pic is due to my camera on phone being unable to capture the true color + the HID was just warming up.

Let me know what you guys think. I'll post up more pics after the 'wire-down mod'.

no ap1's lol

looks good buddy hows the out put compared to those 460's? those things light up like 10 lanes across lol

 

Haven't heard from your buddy man.. maybe you should poke him for me....

I asked TRS "what happened to the S2Ks? I don't see them on your site"
They replied "S2K-R, Meh! that's all I have to say, lol." so yea.....

Dude... my 460s just washes out the fog lights.. LOL..but after looking at the wire down mod, i think it'll help... plus i need to aim the fogs a bit higher.

 

whats this wire down mod you speak of?


if i can ever get the headlights figured out lol i'm putting in ap1 s2000 in my arb fogs for sure man bjorn has a bunch of them?

either way that looks great man! i wanna see some out put shots the blazers are still fucking nice man i have seen a few in person but, they where the 4300k not the 3k.

 

Wire Down Mod as quoted from the HIDplanet thread

"As far as blazers go when the bulb is installed in the socket it ends up with the return wire facing up...

What you need to do is trim the stop tooth on the base of the bulb and that will allow you to rotate it 180° to where the return wire will face down and that will give you the following results.


"

 

How did you measure/hold the fog housings to drill into them?? This is the one thing I'm worried about doing this...but I'm getting VERY convinced that I want these.

Looks great man!!

 

got you it produces some artifacts in the beam but, intensity is increased like 5 fold lol. you can do this with headlight projectors as well though the effects aren't as dramatic.

good stuff ant lol dammit your one upping me on the hids now i have to go out and spend the money on the ap1 s2k retro lol

 

i actually saw that thread months ago lol i even saved it to the favorites.

 

Looks great!

 

With a 4300k bulb or higher i would understand that the return wire down mod may not be a good idea for the purpose of a fog light. But since im using 3k bulbs, the yellow would be more ideal to 'pierce' through the fogs ya? To me, the wire-down mod evens out the whole output out.

i used a dremel because i didnt have a hole cutter for a drill. i set the fogs lens down on a cloth and held the dremel in one hand and the fog in the other (highly recommend using gloves for safety) and the circle came out nearly perfect.. i just took my time and used an air compressor to blow out all the debris each time before i test fitted the blazers... pretty simple and straight forward

what's next, flashlights? You're one upping me on your knives! i need to get some

THANK YOU!!!!!

 

Stay tuned, Brunes. I might have concocted a way so you don't have to be as careful with the drilling through the back of the housing.

Ant, looks great man! I can't wait to get this done.

 

Which wiring harness did you get from TRS for the retro?

 

didnt need one, i used the stock wiring... ended up returning the wireharness...

but if you dont have one and need one, it will be H10/9006 harness

 

Thanks for the info. I bought the complete Retro kit so I might be returning the harness myself. How did you go about setting the rotation of the projector in the fog light to get a level cut off line?

 

the mounting tabs on the projector should line up straight with the lines on the back of the projector housing....

where are you located? when you want to proceed with the retro, i can help you or something.. im in el monke.

 

Thanks for the info, I believe I just asked you the same question on another thread (noob move) . I'm in Garden grove (OC), I did a morimoto retro on my headlights on the first TRS group buy and am looking to do a retro on my fogs now since one of my HID ballasts went out on me.

 

oooooo yea.... u asked earlier, its cool

 

Blazers are on the way but the 9006 harness is back ordered along with with one of the heat sinks.Thinking about taking the light apart and putting in a CCFL ring on the inside of the outer edge of the reflector bowl with some kind of mini shroud......

 

darn em 9006 harness... LOL

well dude, check out Pugga's!! i think he's done with his fog light retro:

I’ve been looking around for a how to on how to do the wire down mod and can’tseem to find one. Any advice or an explanation of how to do this?
