Has anybody tried putting aftermarket fogs in the intercooler holes on the IX front bumper? I'm not talking about fogs in the headlight housing either. ya dig?

I've never seen such thing and it has never been done. I know what the intercooler hole are for, so please don't tell me why and yada yada...

For example:

 

maybe you should try first?

 

Someone on here has done it before.

 

It's been done before. My friend did it on his car.

 

IT looks like it would be an easy install.. Go for it!

 

enough talk! do it post pics let me check it out, sounds like it would look good if they were the yellow lights that blind people cuz they cant stop looking at them.

 

yeah ... i know someone who has em .... i wanna put yellow ones on them ....they look nice ... if anybody has em.. please post pix of it at night ... i bet it would look sexy ....

 

I would be interested to see what this looks like. as long as it's a clean install it should look cool....esp if they were hidden far enough back so you cant see them during the day. I would rock something like that.

 

interesting idea.

 

I dont see why not. For some reason I always get asked if they're fog holes and I simply tell them.... YES THEY ARE! lol

 

I would want them exaclty the way you described except I dont think it would work with the IC pipes directly behind the openings. Unless maybe it were an aftermarket IC and piping. Someone should try anyway...

 

They would bounce all over the place.

 

So you want to stop the function of the air ducts by adding another set of fog lights? Might as well mount your license plate in front of your intercooler while your at it.

 

I'd say go for it, and yes it has been done many times, the main functional part of the intercooler is the actual core not the side tanks when it comes to air to air cooling.., if that were the idea we should cut airflow holes for where our intercooler pipes run then??

 

The ducts are to cool the endtanks and help with heat dissipation.

"Outside, a new front bumper fights aerodynamic lift with an available chin spoiler that increases the low-pressure zone under the nose. Two oval nostrils in the bumper help the intercooler by ramming fresh air around its input and output pipes."

But what do engineers know...
