I installed mine over the weekend and took some pics along the way in case anybody was interested. Reason I did it because i like the way it looks and can be helpful in heavy rain here in south Florida, also I dont really like the way the ap2 bumper looks with a single which I plan on doing one day. Sorry for the cell phone pics.


I made a WTB thread and a member here pm'd me with one.

This is how I got it




I place it on the bumper to see what I had to work with since the brackets were bent



Next, I used a dremel to remove the surface rust.



all AP1 bumpers have the cut out for the edm rear fog lamp





started hacking away with a dremel



almost done



used some 409 to clean the light



test



before I mounted the light to the bumper I checked to make sure the bulb was still good.



getting an idea of how it was going to look



the bumper is held by two 8mm bolts in the wheel well, 3 plastic clips under the trunk lid and two more under the bumper (not sure what brace a ap1 car has under)



the ap1 bumper is shorter in height, if you look closely you can see two white brackets where my ap2 bumper used to clip on to. I plan on lowering the car soon and if the brackets are still noticeable i will spray them black



For the wiring all I did was splice the tag light and ran the wire to that and rapped it with electrical tape. So the lamp turns on whenever I turn my lights on

Nice DIY Oliver! I've been looking forward to see this. I'm thinking of getting the middle switch that comes in 07 and later models (located between the roof & hazard button) to be able to turn the fog on and off. Do you have more details on where exactly you wire it all? Did you ground it?

lawliver

Thanks Hoang

you see the picture where my bumper is off? thats the tag light, all I did was use some wire strippers and twist them around the tag light wires and use two wire connectors for each wire. after that I just wrapped everything with electrical tape. It is not grounded, I dont think I need to. If need be than I will.

Hoang

Okay I see what you're saying now. Does that mean you didn't even use the plug on the side of the fog?

lawliver

nope, if you see the picture where I used the 409 to clean the light you can see the wires are cut from the plug

Hoang

Should contact a mod and have this added to a DIY mod.

hguerrero

nice!

hguerrero

how much did the fog light cost you? where did you get it?

lawliver

will do


guerrero I paid 100 shipped from the uk. I made a wtb thread and someone came through.
