Fogs on a C5z
Bought my foglights from ChrisRTA (Great guy to buy from!) a couple months ago and finally got around to installing them. I used a mix of Chris' instructions and Toque's writeup on his website.. Thanks guys!
I'm no professional photographer (as you can tell) but I thought I'd put up some pics for you guys. Love the new fogs!!

Looks great ! They look great behind the Z06 grill's !
Adds some nice light right in front of the car too (esp when you put HID's in them).

Any issues with the lights shining through the grills? I know the HIDs are brighter, however I am curious if the grills disrupt the beam pattern?

Thanks for the compliments guys! The fogs are 6000k HID's, same as my headlights. Myself, I don't find that the grills reduce light output in any way... but I am no professional on lighting.

I always wondered why the Z06 did not have fog lights from the factory. Are the OEM screens funtional in providing more air into the intake similar to the Vararam design even though the C5 is a bottom breather?
