Angel Eye Fog Lights Interest Check

damn I guess that counts me out...

for those with a contour other than the svt, I can still sell you the fogs themselves for a cheaper price if you want to attempt to mount it yourself. Just let me know.

Those are pretty sweet looking. I would think they will cost more. I take it they don't come with bulbs? I'd like to keep mine anyways. You'll hear from me soon.

I think I am interested. I need to wait on some money but I'll be wanting the green ones.

They definately come with bulbs. They come with everything you will need to install and use them the same day. That $100 is all you have to spend.

any pics at night to see how bright they are from the drivers seat?

Non-SVT's, just the lights...How much?
What kind of bulbs do these take?
Are the lenses glass or plastic?
Are the color changing ring ones the exact same size?

Non-SVT's, just the lights...How much?
$60 including shipping
$70 for the color changing rings

What kind of bulbs do these take?
I'll have to get back to you on that one. I know they're halogen though.

Are the lenses glass or plastic?
Glass

Are the color changing ring ones the exact same size?
Yes I can get the same size.

This weekend I will post a picture at night from the drivers seat.

I see they do come with bulbs, but if I want to use my own, can I? AND will these plug into the factory 893 bulb harness or do they have to be wired all the way back to the factory switch? Depending on your answers, I'd go for the green.

Again I have to look into the bulb situation. I can have an answer for that by this weekend. As for the wiring, I cut the factory wiring harness off and soldered it directly to the fog lights. I basically reused the stock wiring. The only wiring you need to run is for the angel eyes. I suppose I could look for a wiring harness for the bulbs at auto zone and solder it on for you.

Does that mean the bulbs only have tabs on them like old sealed beam headlights? What happens if they burn out or get broken? Does the whole deal (except for the brackets) have to be replaced? Thanks, I'll watch for your answer.
PS> If any soldering has to be done, I can take care of it.

could you send me some pics too, slolx50@aol.com

also i was just curious what brand and model light you were using. thanks.

No the bulbs are replacable. He just doesnt know with which bulbs.

I see the bulbs are replaceable but it'll be a hassle to desolder and resolder the original wires. What about the guys out there who can't solder. I'd probably want to solder a plug to the original wires, so that replacement of the bulb would be easy. Then I have to worry getting a plug for the bulb, depending on what base it has. I guess we'll just have to wait for his answer.

If you "can't solder" you must be missing a hand or an arm. Go to radio shack and buy a $10 kit with soldering iron, solder, instructions. It is easy.

I agree, soldering is a matter of two steps...heat up connection between wires, and apply solder. The metal will do the rest for you.

I know--I work at Radio Shack.

But you would be amazed at how stupid people can be. Some of them make you wonder how they can walk and breathe at the same time.

Are they the Hella Optilux 2500 with the angel eye as shown here? LIGHT LINK

No, those are 4". The ones I have are 3 inch which fit in the fog light holes of the svt bumper perfectly.

i measured my stock lights and they are �?3-1/2"
so there must be a slight gap all the way aound, right?

so what brand and model are they, i have searched and searched and all i can come up with are 4" ones???

I'm going to the store this weekend to get all the information about the lights. As soon as I get there, I will post all of the information on the fog lights. (Ex bulb replacement, wattage, brand, ect)

Thanks man.

Ok everyone. Here are the final details. I went to the store today and got the information on the fog lights. They are 55 watts and the bulbs in them are replaceable. The replaceable bulb is the H1 halogen bulb. The final price for this project will cost you $120. That price is for either the angel eyes that you saw in my picture or the 7 color changing ones. Both are the same price. The only thing you need to do is send your stock fog light bracket and you will receive everything you need for the install. The reason my price went up is because the lights went up $10. Any further questions, just ask and I will gladly answer them for you. Anyone want a pair, pm me, email me, or post on this forum. My email address is BKappa2006@yahoo.com. Thanks for your patience.

Brian

Also, the brand of the fogs are Optix which is by Hella

In an earlier quote, you said your lights are 3" around. Is there a slight gap all the way around the housing?

One last question: if I want a green ring on the lights, I see I'll have to get the color changing lights. BUT, can I make them green all the time or am I stuck with rings that change to 7 different colors?

PS: I am very interested!!

The Lights are 3" in diameter and so is the fog light opening of the svt bumper. Its a perfect fit. No gap at all. As for the colors, if you want green, just get the color changing one and leave it on green. It won't be an inconvenience. It will stay green on every start up. Just don't change colors.

One last question and then I'll leave you alone until I order. What is your turn around time-since I'll have two holes in the front of my car until I get the lights back from you. Thanks

thats strange, because i measured my opening and it is 3-1/2" in diameter.

I showed you the picture of my car with them installed...close up...and they fit perfectly. That could be my bad. I installed these about 2 weeks ago so I might be off on the size of the holes. I can assure you that they will fit perfectly or your money back. Turn around time on these lights will be 1 day. So If I receive the lights on a friday, they are shipping out on that saturday. If and only if I get a bunch of orders it might be delayed by a day or to but that is the maximum.

Excellent!! I'll be PM'ing you in the next month or so when the weather changes. Thanks

I don't have anything to do with this group buy, but here's some information that might help to answer the questions you have about the foglight diameter and what will fit in the bumper openings. The PIAA 510, common in most SVT foglight modifications, has a listed diameter of 3.9375 inches. The Optix foglights being sold in this group buy have a supposed diameter of 4 inches. Given their similar diameters, it stands to reason that the Optix foglights will fit as well as the PIAA 510s in SVT applications.

Here are a few more pics I just took.
Just go to this link and scroll down. These definately work!

I guess I lied to you. I do have one more. I had a 97 Sport with fogs--it was very difficult to just change the bulbs. At one time, I was going to replace everything with Hella's (or PIAA's, I don't remember) but I was told the whole bumper would have to come off, so I didn't do it. How hard is it to get to these lights? Is it gonna be a major job or are they much easier to get to than the 97's were? And changing bulbs is one thing, changing the whole assembly is something else. I know you said install and use in one day, but ??? is that reasonable?

I'm not 100% sure about your application. I've never installed fogs into an se. I could sell you the angel eye fogs alone and you could find a way to mount them. Shouldn't be too difficult. I can't see why you would have to remove the bumper to install them. Just reach underneith it.

I'm not being clear enough. I "had a Sport at one time" that I was going to replace the lights and that application was too difficult to tackle. There was a little more to it than just reaching underneath. I was asking if the job would be as difficult on an SVT. I don't mind jacking the car up to get to it cuz if I'm soldering, it has to be accessible. Hell, I guess if you could do it, so could I.

Oh, sorry about that. When I did mine it was very easy. I just jacked the front of my car up, removed the cover under the front bumper, and could easily reach under there and replace them. There was three screws that had to be removed. It can easily be done with the svt bumpers.

Good!! I'll be in touch in a month or so when it warms up.

Great. Just let me know whenever you'd like them made.

Did anyone end up ordering lights from the guy who started this? I sent him money over 3 weeks ago and havn't received anything but dates that I'd receive my package that have since come and gone.

That sucks Ryelou, wish i saw this post earlier! you guys do realize that they sell these angel eye foglights at your local autozone and all you have to do is maybe and thats a big maybe is mod your brackets and run a wire for the angel eye switch...

ps. the fogs are only 45 bucks... not trying to take anything away from this groupbuy but i can't see paying double for the same or very similar item...

Like this?

Figures though.

Good call. I was looking at those same exact ones at Advanced AutoParts last week for $38. From his pictures and description I'd agree that they are the exact same.

OK just wondering....

But is this: http://store.yahoo.com/brandsportinc/glbl-apc-50550977.html

The same thing this guy is selling????? I mean these are $19 Shipped for 2 of them!!!!

I need new fogs....so someone please fill me in.

get em while they last ;-)

It's the same idea, not the same product though. He's selling Hella's version of what looks to be something similar. How they compare in purpose/performance though, I have no idea.

These are only a 2.75" Diameter, not 3".
