Fogs in faux vent of a sport bumper
Here is the project that I want to start,
I want to put blazer projector fog light into fake lower vents of a sport bumber
here is the example

I know there is not alot of space there, especially on a passenger side because of windshield washer reservoir.
So my question is how much space is back there? is there at least 3-4 inches of space? note that in that picture they are not in the center, i want my fogs to be centered

I found this one guy that installed his into his sports bumper but it wasnt done very tastefully and he went all out paying like 900$ for them and I know this can be done way cheaper or I hope.

the reason why he paid that much was because he bought really expansive projector fogs, they were only 700$ i think
a cheaper way to go is blazer fog light kit from trs

the complete kit is 170
the other problem is installation, on a sports bumber if u want to put them in the vents that are closer to the edges and center them, there is a windshield washer tank behind passenger side vent, and it leaves around 2 inches of clearance, i have to measure to know exactly and that posses a real problem, cauz u have no space to put the fog in

I've not checked into it myself, but has anyone looked into the possibility of replacing the bottle with one from a later model year (since the new ones must allow more clearance there), or perhaps fabbing a modified mounting bracket to shift the position of the existing water bottle?
FWIW, I have had success in the past with heating an area of a washer bottle with a heat gun and "reforming" it to clear IC piping. Just a thought.
