Installed yellow fogs

I had a shop that I trst install the Yellow Fogs on my car today and found out the OEM switch was wrong so they installed some interesting switch that I just dunno about. Maybe im being anal and its actually ok but what do you all think?



also the hole they cut to put in the fogs was diff then what I have seen but maybe this is just the way they look....... is this bad or ok?





Thanks all

And as for that switch, switch it!

This thread is about fogs, not about what gets censored on the site.

I'm still trying to figure out how there is yellow light coming from around the fog light bezel? Are these lights not sealed well? Shouldn't the light only be coming from the front of the fog light, not behind it?

it does look like light is coming from around the housing..

when i installed mine they didn;t come with a housing.. the coupe ones don;t have a housing usually.. it just comes with the oval shape.. u cut out the oval shape that is already there and it fits right int.. there are brackets and screw holes to screw it on behind the bumper..

that;s weird it came with a housing.. (i said housing like 50 times there)

mine was a button the same size as the slot..

i don't know what the oem looks like.. but the light doesn;t match the rest of the car.. that;s the only thing i don't like..

oh yahh.. i can see that they cut it out... hmm weird.. maybe i havent looked at mine that carefully haha..

I think they cut the ring around the fogs to big, they could have cut it alot closer. when you are a few feet away it looks good and when they are on they are good just if you look close you see its cut a little strange.
