Custome fogs?

I was checking out my awesome car and I was wondering if anybody has ever made or bought fog lights to put in the center gap on the bumper. the car isnt mine but it has the same gap? I like that the car has fog lights, but i dont think they do a whole lot.

***Custom

That's an AWD G35x. The middle hole is an air intake channeled to the transfer case to keep it cool. The hole is not present in the RWD bumpers.

I think you mean front differential.

I know this is frequently claimed...but i challenge it.

but if you look through the hole, you see the lower radiator support and the very bottom of the A/C condenser.

The differential is located further back and actually offset to the passenger side slightly. This hole really doesn't provide any more of a straight shot than the pass side lower grill vent. And those vents are already VERY open as it is.


And OP, if you want to make your foglights more useful, change out the bulbs to 3K halogen (if you want to keep your high beams) or HID's. Yellow is more easily seen than the human eye. I have this setup in my car and it does make a difference when i flip on the fog lights or use the high beams

Thanks for the clarification. Everything I know about my G35 I learned on G35Driver. I just took what I read at face value, but of course getting on my knees in supplication to the God35 I see precisely what you mean.

But everything I know about my G35 I learned on G35Driver. Which now because of your statement makes even your statement suspect.

Oh dear.

Thats my setup too.

Inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc) i flip on the fogs and it does help.

which 2500k yellow bulbs are you guys using?

I have a 3k DDM HID kit but i kinda miss having hi-beams to signal people to move over. Plus my driver's side HID gives on crazy glare... I'm looking to go back to halogens, but everything i've found so far have been overwattage bulbs in the 3k world. TOO MANY RICERS I guess that think 100w is good, all it will do is melt harnesses.
