Fog Lights for ES 03

Has anyone installed any fog lights on their ES?

I got the Tracer kit installed recently so I'm thinking of putting foglights in, but i'm indecisive.
Anyone have any recommendations?

I used to have some on my stock bumper. I cant stand seeing them. What I am thinking about doing on my ken style is mounting some behind the mesh on the frame that is now exposed due to the lower bumper. Drill through the frame to mount bolts to hold the lights. Would be hidden by mesh and still give light. The frame im talking about is right behind bumper, toward bottom where radiator is.

i didnt put mesh on the 2 side spaces on the bumper just so i could put the fog lights, but now i'm not sure what kinds to put in

well. I like the look of foglights more centered so having the them on each far side of the center hole. basically beside the license plate is where I would put them personally.

I wouldnt skimp. I have had cheap ones and they suck. I plan to get some nice PIAA super duper hyper ion yellow fogs. lol. I love the look of them and they are great in rain/snow. Only issue is they are $200+ for some good PIAA's.

Your passenger side fog is off a bit. And I know this is off topic but what's going on wit your grill?

youve been around a while. I figured this was almost common knowledge. My grill is the same. It was RRM's 1'st mold of the evo style. it had a lift at the bottom and when coupled with a aftermarket bumper it gets even bigger. They have since made the version 2 grill which fixes this gap.

^That's what he was saying! He's in the same boat as me with my crap-designed Evo grille. Bought it off Ebay, and it had no mention of this "gap". But the U-bracket for the lights are attached to some metal sticking out from the frame rail... Yeah, the lights have been adjusted since that pic. That was shortly after the bumper was painted and installed. Damn shop even over-sprayed into the lights, so I was pissed!

I had put these in the stock bumper. Had to cut holes in the fake plastic grill inserts.
