Here's a little project I've been tinkering with lately, thought I'd share.

Morimoto Mini H1 fit perfectly in the stock fog location, so....

NOTE beam pics aren't the right colour as I was projecting on to rigid pink foam insulation...

Bumper install pics to follow...







"High Beam Mode" (shutter open)



"Low Beam Mode" (shutter closed)

ive been working on similar on and off but with a transparent lens to make it more clear.

nice work..

I would have preferred to place the projector on the inboard side and use the less aggressive lens but there isn’t enough space. What lens are you converting to?

making my own from plexi.

I like that setup, I believe fog lights are intended to only work in head light low beam mode mainly because you don’t want to light up the fog. If used as driving lights (wiring maybe required) on it’s high beam mode independently of the head lights that would be cool. Keep the low beam mode working as fog lights with the low beam head lights. Or link them up with the high beam mode with the headlights high beam and light up the night or day. I would make a separate headlight harness with thicker wire. I forgot who sells headlight harnesses like shark cables, or if anyone does anymore? Someone could totally chime in with info on aftermarket headlight harnesses.

I couldn’t leave the inboard side alone... relocated the original fogs there. I think normal operation will be dipped beam with the fog switch on the dash then an auxiliary switch to flick the shutter on the xenons and illuminate the driving (inboard). Coupled with the 7” pop up led headlight I should be set.

The H3 halogen draw 8 amps total as indicated on my bench power source. I’ll run them off a relay even though I really wouldn’t need to. I wouldn’t run the xenon and halogen off the stock wires. That would be too much current.

Here’s the wiring setup ready to hook into car. The hid ballasts will hookup to the stock fog lamp circuit (max draw on startup is 11amps, 6.5 amp continuous). The other harness is for the halogen inner spots and will have a 12v signal sent to the input connection thus activating the halogen and opening the shutter on the xenons.

Bumper mod requirements. Drill hole for back of lamp to fit. On LHS the warm air snorkel will need to be remoulded with a heat gun to clear the bulb.

Nice mod!
