7 inch foglights on my 06 wrx
i was tinting my taillights and headlights and had a pair of some fog lights chillin around and thought i would put them in. these arent the normal size you would see on an 06. these are 7" fogs :)

here are some pics of the foglights and tinted lights:

that looks....um wierd.

But never seen it before, nice job.
KrazyKarl 12-04-2006 12:23 PM

i think it would look better mounted in the stock fog light location, but good job on the custom work nonetheless
SpeddeN 12-04-2006 02:14 PM

yeah they're too close together...im sure theyd look real good seperated
disaster999 12-04-2006 02:27 PM

i think this would just blind the oncoming drivers nicely
ChrisM623 12-04-2006 03:47 PM

There not going to get to hot to start melting the grill or plastic are they?

They are original...i'll give ya that.
brain juice 12-04-2006 03:48 PM

Interesting, nice job
culturedetox 12-04-2006 04:28 PM

reminds me of the Studebaker. now to put in a servo that points the lights to where you are turning :cool:
PARANOID56 12-04-2006 04:38 PM

Interesting. Got any pics from behind the wheel? And why tint the headlights? You know headlights are used to light up the road at night. And putting **** on them diminishes this.

You gave the pig-nose nostrils!
Subie FA20 12-04-2006 05:10 PM

it's rudolph the white nose scooby
WRXDriftR 12-04-2006 05:16 PM

um wow.. did you paint on TOP of the headlight housings or something? way to blind yourself
02BlueSuperRoo 12-04-2006 05:24 PM

Hmmm... ironing much?

You put on huge ass fog lights to help you see [I]better[/I] and then you put black tint on your headlights?
skate enjoi 12-04-2006 05:32 PM

i like it.... looks great
eurospek 12-04-2006 05:46 PM

Looks retarded IMO!
ittybitty_STI 12-04-2006 06:16 PM

Thats a diffrent idea +1 for Unique! Your car if you like it stick with it man.
gNarkill 12-04-2006 06:36 PM

i like it
but its not for me.
brandonbeeb 12-04-2006 06:44 PM

not a fan. why would u add fogs that are blinding but tint ur headlights kinda counter balancing dont you think?
Handsdown 12-04-2006 07:02 PM

JEEZ there's a heck of a lot of room behind the grill on the 06's.

and yeah, not feeling it. light bar, ftw.
tacomaprime 12-04-2006 07:12 PM

Are those JDM fogs?
WRXFTW 12-04-2006 09:05 PM

the tint didnt effect the brightness of the lights.

[QUOTE=culturedetox;16202548]reminds me of the Studebaker. now to put in a servo that points the lights to where you are turning :cool:[/QUOTE]

I think you are thinking of the Tucker that had the center headlight that turned in the direction the car was turning, unless there was a Studebaker that did that as well.

As for this project, I think it looks weird! But you could get a vanity plate that says "CYCLOPS" if you wanted now...
Hille 12-04-2006 09:30 PM

I had an 80's Subaru wagon and one day I found a center lamp switch on the dash. It didn't do anything. Then one night I was playing around with it and if you turned on that switch when you selected your high beams lights the Subaru emblem in the grill would move up revealing a center driving light. That was cool as hell. I really miss that car too bad it rusted away.
G3Red04WRX 12-04-2006 11:09 PM

Look ma, its rudolph the red nosed.... pig? :huh:

Just kidding, sortof. Nice job on a custom install. Get yourself a pair of hella supertones to fill the outer grill area so you can both blind AND deafen those less than corteous drivers on the road.
veightkiller 12-04-2006 11:14 PM

unique.
e11ys 12-04-2006 11:33 PM

Sweet! The "pig-nose" has a purpose! Someone with an '06-'07 needs to stick a huge single foglight in there :lol:

edit: like the ones this guy has [url]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1145993[/url]

I like it.....it looks really clean and mean as hell at the same time.

looks pretty cool man, how does it look from behind the wheel?

[QUOTE=dlin;16214200]looks pretty cool man, how does it look from behind the wheel?[/QUOTE]

it looks alright from the inside. i'll try to get some pics of it. its kind of an X pattern. the right one lights up the left side and vice versa. it works.

Yep, cool. Me likely!

Looks very unique and creative, nice work
Ghosthound 12-05-2006 10:49 PM

very interesting... i guess i like it... btw, what dealership did you pick up your wrx from? im assuming roseville...
LightWerkz 12-05-2006 10:53 PM

[quote=WRXFTW;16206073]the tint didnt effect the brightness of the lights.[/quote]

Of course it does, it blocks the amount of light that passes through, just like window tint.
awdanger 12-05-2006 10:56 PM

the headlights look dull

he should switch the stock grill with a mesh one and add another 2 fog lights, then it wouldnt matter if his head lights were broken lol
USAF_Pignose 12-05-2006 11:02 PM

wow looks crazy. i was gonna get a set of used FF1000 to try this out with. could you post some pics of what the light look like installed and OFF both day and night???

a set of FF1000 driving lights and a left over H1 HID kit that i have sittign around WOOOO WEEEE GIT ER DONE!!!!!!
Handsdown 12-06-2006 12:18 AM

FF1000's are much deeper than these PIAAs IIRC.
USAF_Pignose 12-06-2006 12:23 AM

Hella FF1000 Dimensions:
7 3/4"H x 7"W x 4 1/8"D



did you measure your lights 1st or do you remember which lights your using?

+1


PLEASE post an update on if you notice any melting or warping of the plastic or how hot it gets.

i like how you tinted the cover on those lights too makes the not as visible when off. kinda like the hella black magics.

Yeah, i'll get you some updates. as of right now, i drive for about an hour with the lights on, and feel them and they are barely even warm. i doubt it will melt anything. as for the pics or w.e you wanted, PM me with more info on what you wanted.

no, i got it from maita. autowest salesmen were dicks.

I don't think I'd ever paint the headlights, but I like the fog lights.

a la C5-R, very nice
+2 for originality :D
Scubasteve1769 12-06-2006 11:36 PM

what did u use to tint the tail lights
WRXFTW 12-07-2006 12:11 PM

[QUOTE=Scubasteve1769;16236305]what did u use to tint the tail lights[/QUOTE]

Its called NightShade. Ordered it from Summit Racing.
subywrx 12-07-2006 04:56 PM

It's different but I like it.
EnterTheDragon 12-07-2006 05:16 PM

I dont think you can call them foglights mounted that high.

I think if you put some mesh in that grill that really hid them when not in use, it would be sweet.

Next: install some Hellas, and have those lights activate at the same time the hellas do. The ultimate, GTFO of my way.

Looks like a UFO....but nice job none the less.
imprezaowner27 12-07-2006 06:45 PM

thats mad weird, i kinda want to puit fog lights behind the outer grill, not in the middle, but thanks for the idea lol
BigFatGeek 12-07-2006 07:41 PM

Foglights function best when mounted low and wide (eg, stock location) while driving lights go higher and can be mounted much closer together.
Paranoid Fabrications 05-24-2007 05:43 PM

So, how are these running? any issues yet? i have been thinking about doing it :D
