You Think they'll fit??? or a waste of money?

fit how? in the stock plastic fog bracket? i dont think it would. u would have to screw it in with the bracket that comes with it.

they will fit but you would have to mod them ino the stock foglight assembly, you can get similar ones cheaper thoi have a set sitting in my basement i had when i had my cyber 1 i think i got for like 40 shipped

to mount those, you would either have to attach them straight to the bumper or make a custom bracket so that they could bolt onto the stock foglight assemblies.

foglights make awful headlights. the beam pattern and spread is much different.

i think he's using aftermarket projectors made for other cars. foglights do not thow light as far as headlights and have a much wider dispersion... fogs are great for foreground and side lighting but not optimal for a headlight which must throw much further in a more focused beam. converslely, driving lights or pencil beams shoot much further but do not have a very wide angle. think of a focused maglite where all the light is in the center (spot) as opposed to a maglight where the beam has been focused out to shine on a large area (flood).

Like relax said, these are set up for fog lights with a short, wide beam. You can tell that the optics with these fog lights are different because of how the lens is shaped. The lens on the fog lights sticks out a lot further than a headlight projector, which is a more of a shallow dome.

In theory i guess you could swap the lens on these with some headlight projector lenses. But then you just be better off buying the headlight projectors.
