got my fog lights mounted today.... I'm really happy with how they look. All of the measurements and design work I did was spot on.

Those looks like they're from the Newer fords man.
Awesome work. I like the color matched on there, it really works.

It's going to be a little while until I get night photos. I don't actually have bulbs in those projectors yet and there are a few detail things I need to finish up. Thanks for the compliments.

As soon as you start contributing large sums to my bank account, my services will be for rent.

Hah! I completely understand. They look fantastic - and yeah, my truck's the same color. What's the cost for this project (er.. all of them..!) up to now, (if you don't mind sharing!)

...and, on the plus side.. now you won't have to worry about upgrading your alternator..!

I have not really tried to total up the costs. I will be upgrading the alternator for other reasons

I took some fusion output photos. This is just the fog lights, with my modification to the cutoff. These are 4300K, 35W.

Above the cutoff:



On the flicker color band of the cutoff:


Foreground lighting (with my foreground reducer eliminator mod to the shield):


Color projection at 90 degrees. Nice thing is that the paint on this truck is white, so it is a very true example of the color you get. I am impressed it is very stable!:




Distance - about 50 feet. Please note this is a highly uneven driveway, and they look higher because the rear wheels are sunk down, and the driveway is crooked as well:

The green comes from the color bending at the color band. When you are in the "blue" zone it interacts with the yellow and you get green. - that's why you get a green color flicker with 3000K.
