I found these offered on ebay - just posting all pics as they seem to be different..

They seem to look quite modern and I am tempted, but I have no clue how they will look on the car? Also, which ones do you think look better - the first (lense) or second (projector only) type?

Does anyone have pics on such fog lights installed on a car?

Search function is your friend ... try look up for member Cwest ...

And between the two ... try to imagine it'll be in the front of the car so it'll get hit by some sort of a road debris or somethin' now the 1st kind have plastic covering the projector lens and the 2nd kind pretty much naked ...

Here are all ebay links from a few hours ago - they should all be active. The first one is the search I did, and the remaining ones are the actual auctions. Enjoy

Thanks - I found his thread and its very helpful in discussing the light output and other issues..

...however he has the umnitza M5 bumber (I wanted to see them on a stock bumper, which I thought is the only one they would fit, and which I admit is not clear from my post ) , and besides that he never shows pics of how the lights actually look on the car in daylight, unlit

Has anyone installed these on a stock bumper and has pics of the front of the car in daylight?

Thanks rival, These would fit on the OEM bumper cause i tried it on my oem bumper before i put it on my Umnitza bumper. I believe my photo's in my profile might have some daylight shots.

Thanks Cwest - great pics and an awesome car! And the other infos (HID etc.) in your thread are extremely helpful.

If anyone has such fogs on the stock bumper, I guess they will also chime in at some point

Just saying: Doesn't John (member Brabusw209amg) sell the HID kits for the stock fogs lights about the same price? At least we KNOW he sells good shtuff. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I would assume installation would require removal of the front bumper though. They look good though.

That's not necessary, all you got to do is get behind or under the fog bulb. There is a screw holding The fog housing in place, comes right out.
