affordable as in what price range? I like the nice ion yellow fogs by companys like PIAA but your talking $150+. They look great and work great. The cheap sets at Advanced for $15-40 are just that, cheap.

you can always get the JDM bumper and spend 342 on each fog light.


but ya their pretty pricey. those are the only fog lights i like on the 02 03 lancers.

Well, it took some creativity and a little fab work, but it was all done out in the apt parking lot with hand tools.

But I don't think I got my point across above...LOL. I am trying to sell my used Catz driving lights there in the above pics, and no longer have a lancer or a car that doesn't already have fogs/driving lights. Let me know if you'd be interested! Feel free to PM too.

i'm putting 6 of them on this weekend:-o Yeah, I went crazy...Putting four in the main opening of the front bumper, two on top, two on bottom, staggered...with two smaller ones in the side openings:-p Only thing I'm worried about now is needing to upgrade the alternator

I'll post pics here when I'm done:-D

Well, many states have a max # of auxillary lights you can have...one set additional (besides the headlamps) is maximum.

I don't plan to use them for "accessory lighting" but as functional lighting only when situations of intense fog hit (I live by a swamp)....but I like how they looked when I did the mock placement. I'm not a big fan of imports with intense foglights on the highway, definitely eye-killers.

The Pilot series that Autozone carries is pretty decent, $20 for a pair of most of them....

$50 if you want the oblongs and whatnot...
