    I Know, I know, the fog light issue has been raised before, but I am getting antsy to take the next step. :rockon:

    It has been well documented that no one (except for the 2010 model 5 owners) are happy about the gray covers where the fog lamps are supposed to be. There are some aftermarket options available, and I am considering the Bling Light option which is ~$90 in the PC store and ~$72 directly from the Blight Light dudes. I have absolutely no mechanical aptitude :eek:, so I will need to hire someone to do this. :eek:

    The Bling Lights have a sorta blue housing, but I have a ribbon blue car, so I am okay w/ it. :rockon:

    Has anyone gone this route yet? If so, what was the success? :rolleyes:

    Approximately how much will it cost for me to have this installed, and where should I go for installation (what type of place)? :rolleyes:

    What do you think and what do you suggest? :rolleyes:

    Any input that folk can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks! :cheer2:

    Easy on the smiles there buddy.

    I have seen the ones they offer on PC shop, but I would strongly advise holding out for a few more weeks until other aftermarket lights are available. I am guessing someone will make a xenon fog light that comes with matching bulbs to swap out your headlights.

    These things come with instructions. It's really not that hard.

    I don't like the gray covers either but honestly they probably put out almost as much light as my 2005 fog lamps.

    My V's fog lamps put out pretty decent light, at least compared to my previous cars.

    I have the ones from PC shop on order. I'll post an update once I get them in.
    If I can't install them or don't have time, I will have my local tint shop install them.

    I have the bling lights installed on one side to see how it looks. I also ordered the factory trim pieces for $92. The trim does not go back to a parallel plane with the front of the car so if you recess the lights all the way around and point straight forward there is a good 3/4 to 1 inch gap between the lens and the trim toward the center of the car, it looks stupid. so I move them out 3/8 inch and rotated outward slightly and they look pretty nice. I still haven't wired them to test if light works angled out it might have to angle back in. I will let you know when I am finished with it.
