edm rear fog install process..uk guys attn!

ok, just picked up an edm rear fog panel with the fog.. just wonding the process it takes to install. it seems a hole( maybe square about 2in.)needs to be cut just around the bulb holder and wire plug, and the 2 holes drilled and bolt the light in. the fog slides right through the hole in the panel so it doesn't bolt in the back of it..
uk guy if you have a rear fog, & you have pics of the inside of the trunk where the fog is,post them up please... i'd really appreciate it!!

i'm undecided to cut my already jdm panel for the fog or use the edm one and get that painted...


thanks guys!!

 

i say just use the edm panel and get it painted..how much did u pick it up for....

 

i got it form a shop directly from the uk,rhd version too.. for a decent amount..
i may just use the edm one and add my fillers..

but i gotta cut the hole in the body for the fog to go through,and thats my dilema

 

I'm in the UK but have a JDM Sol so I don't have this light, just remember it should be mounted on the drivers side of the car to be correct.
So if you are in the US & have a LHD a UK panel would be on the wrong side.
You really need an EDM panel.

 

yeah i got the panel, i just happen to like the rhd version better so i went with that..

 

Nice man i just picked mine up too :woot:

 

sweet JDM ness :thumbup:

 

thanks bro!! you got the lhd version?:rocks:
what does the hole look like that is in the body of the car where the wiring passes through into the trunk??? thats my worries for right now..

 

i havnt installed mine either that was a pic of the previous owner. im gonna try and install it tomorrow and ill take pics. What are you gonna wire it up to by the way? i heard you cut a square in the body....?

 

i've got both versions of the actual switch used, 2 rhd version ones and one lhd version. i'm gonna use the lhd version because it fits above the aux. light button. i still gotta get some minor body work on mine and add my jdm fillers to it so, maybe when its nice out i'll have mine in.

i made a little template and i think maybe the hole will look something like this... just flip it around for lhd/rhd version.. it the same light.

 

kool ill try that out i got all the nuts off but the two with the sleeves off someone told me to use vise grips on it and they should come off?? tried and nothing yet anyone else have any ideas to get them off?

 

^ yeah those things suck, i dont know why they just didn't put nuts there. but yes try vise grips, pliers, whatever.. and when you do get it off use nuts instead..

 

well i just got them off after cutting myself up. im going to go get nuts right now dont have my camara so i cant take pics sorry guys i still dont know what im gonna hook it up on i might just put it on the rear light for now till i get a switch. im about to do cut the hole right now i just flip it horizonally right for the lhd one?

 

mine goes in like an upside-down t so the template i posted is right for your lhd version..

 

Well i got mine in took me a couple trys but i got it lol ill have pics tomorrow i think i need to move it over just a tade to the left. oh and Question on the LHD the fog light thick side supposed to be facing the plates? or facing away? with the shape of the dip on the body it seemed to be faced towards the plate so thats how i did it just wondering thanks

 

yeah i think yours goes thick side of the lense facing your plate. mie does that on the rhd side, so yours should be the opposite. how did the hole go, is my template good emough?

 

Really i didnt under stand it i did a square for the plug then the four holes worked for me ill take pics later

 

it looks like this..

but anyway you got it in that's all that matters!

 

oh ok i see it now. yeah man that should work just make sure you get it center Good luck man ill get pics soon

 

ok sorry to take so long on the update pic i was finishing up another project



MY another project
Brakes Wilwood 4 piston kit with 12.2in rotors on 15's (p.s. kit can only be on 16" wheels :ninja: )









i had to rase the car up an ich or so and had to kick the wheels out a bit. I really like how it turned out and i love the braking power on this kit.
