In the mean time, I plan on setting up the fogs as my daytime running lights ie: on with ignition and then off with the low beams but can be turned on again with dash switch if desired.

I wanted something that would fill in the foreground behind the low beams and provide a better spread. Thus, I have begun retrofitting the H7 projectors into the fog housings.

Unlike the Valeo led bulbs, the fog can be baked open in the oven. 8 minutes at 300* and they opened pretty easily. Once I got lens off and the bezel out I removed the reflector. The back lip of the housing required some trimming, but I'm happy with how it fits.




I'm working on how I want to mount it. The screws are only temporary as I test my aiming. Originally I had wanted to fabricate a new sealed cavity for the light, but space is limited. Since there isn't much room back there I may just be sealing up the gap between the reflector bowl and the housing.



I'll add some comparison shots once I get the alignment done and mounting finalized.
