Switching Foglights.........again

Well about 2 years ago I took out the factory foglights and put in some Pilot Driving Lights they only cost 20 bucks from AutoZone, and they looked pretty much exactly like the stock foglights, except they put out alot more light.
Over the winter one of them started getting water in it and is now starting to turn brown on the inside from all the water in the bottom. Also the bulb exploded from the water hitting it.

This spring I am going to replace my driving lights with some new ones. this time I think I am going to do something a little different and get some different style lights. Has anybody seen a '93-'97 Camaro with round fog lights? I can't really picture it, and I can't tell if it would look good or not.

Any thoughts?

It looks good, I did it. I took them out though to put fog delete grilles in. But I can set them in there and take a shot when I get some time, so you can get the idea.

If you want to see what they will look like check out my site.I have round Hella fogs on it right now.

Will be changing them this weekend to a new set of slightly smaller round ones with a blue LED ring around them.

The one on the right side is leaking and keeps blowing bulbs,so it is time for a new set.

Thanks for the pics. Anybody else got some round or oval foglights pics.

I was also thinking about going with some fog/driving lights that feature the neon or led ring around the light.

I got mine installed today and they really look good.The driving lights are wired to the stock switch.

I also bought one of the remote control boxes so I could run them off of it seperately.

I need to get my brothers digi cam to take pics of them and my smoothlocks that I put on as well.

The cheapest place to get them is off of eBay - here is a link to a search for "Hella FF50". You can see there are plenty to choose from.

As far as installation - I would just say be creative. They come with their on brackets and harness and stuff. You can look at the guide in my sig for some ideas as well (even though it's a different install). I don't know if you might be able to get ahold of BPS and ask for any tips.

Did BPS use 2 sets of the FF75 for headlight or is there a high beam and low beam set? BTW, who is BPS; I would like to contact him.

For using FF75's as headlights - you must use 2 sets. There is tons of info on this on the board - search for "FF75" in the appearance section and you shall find answers. Or visit my website for a little info.

BPS is a board member - just use the member directory or search for his name, and you can get his e-mail or just PM him.
