    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...

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
