    So I just finished doing a retro fit on my headlights (mini d2s, black shrouds,black housing/bowl with halo led's) and it looks pretty sweet. So then I was thinking man, it would look cool if I could match the fog lights. After some research I haven't seen anyone do this. Is it just because it's too expensive?

    After some searches I found http://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...-xenon-fog-light-projectors.html#.VOEIwO29LCQ

    I think those would fit in the factory fog light housing, paint everything black and install HIDs. Maybe add halos? (I don't know if the shrouds are big enough to accommodate halos, anyone know the answer to that?)

    Any thoughts on doing this?

    A friend of mine did a retro on his truck using the blazer fogs. This was a long time ago, so I don't remember much about it, but I don't think it was worth the effort he put into them. The projector would be completely exposed in the back unless you enclosed it.

    From what I've read that really isn't much of a concern, anyone else do this? Limited threads on the subject.

    I'm trying to get one of the members on here that does retrofitting to do a fog retrofit. I am currently running TRS LED fogs but the color of the light output does not match the color of my 5K HIDs that I have in my headlights. I know I'm being picky but some retrofitted fogs would look badass and match my retrofitted headlights nicely. Let us know if you find someone willing to do it.

    After finding as much info as I could, I decided to go with the ford fusion fog light retrofit. I'll update after I attempt to do it. Purchasing everything now, got a set of fusion projectors, going to buy an h11 to h10 adapter and some HID bulbs. I was able to get the fusion fogs cheaper than the matchbox which helped my decision.


    Let's see how it goes.
