I was asking if you would be willing to meet at a general location this weekend that's convenient for you and if you can help me install my grilles. I live in Queens, so anywhere that works for you is fine. I just can't seem to get my hands behind the grilles in order to unhook the tabs. I can give you cash, or bring a bottle of your favorite adult beverage. Your call. Let me know. TIA

I'd love to assist since it is really easy However, I will be tied up this weekend both Sat and Sun. house hunting. I've even passed up a meet with my friends to help them install their front carbon fiber lips on Saturday and skipping the Rallye BMW car show on Sunday.
Have you checked the DIY thread? Make sure you remove the spongy trim and you can also open up the oval shaped cover and reach in there to push on the tabs. To find them easier, look at the replacement grills to see how the tabs attached and how you would need to press to get them to pop out.

Most cars should have their fog lights on, maybe twice per year for 10-30 minutes. If you live in coastal CA where I am, maybe 5-10 times per year for that long. If in the Central Valley of CA (radiation/ground fog), more often. In some parts of the country, they should never be turned on. My complaint: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1216976 Kzang has improved function. That takes precedence over aesthetics in my book. |

the ones who annoy me are the individuals who install aftermarket projector housing HID kits in non-projector headlights and then drive all day and night with this blinding light. at least the fog light is aimed lower and not as much of a distraction or hazard.

The worst are people who run around with rear fog lights on. I think there are a lot of cars (mostly Audi) with the pull method so they just pull all the way for rear fogs. I don't think people realize they're blinding folks behind them.

i love that feature on VAG automobiles with the euro switch. i use those for tailgaters. most people in the US don't know what rear fog lights are and assume you're braking other than that i agree it is a blinding annoyance when driving at night. the new lincoln rear lights are so bright and there are about fourteen thousand led lights in the back.

I only use my fog lights when is raining or snowing. Not necessarily to enhance my vision because I find the full led lights to provide plenty of illumination of my path. I use them more so other drivers can see my car when precipitation lowers visibility.

If I had halogen fogs though, I would only change the bulb color, not the lens color. Just my personal style preference. |

Better than I did. On an older Accord I had, I spray painted the outer fog lenses with yellow stain glass paint, which proceeded to flake off in about a week.

I had put yellow tint on my fogs a few weeks ago. Ran it for a couple days and realized how crappy it looked. And when I encountered fog, it didn't seem any better than the regular fog light.
