Photo request - Front bumper mesh inserts, at night.
So I'm considering buying some mesh inserts/screens for the fog light area on my car. Maybe the rear vents too.
But anyway, I'm wondering what it will look like from the front at night while the fog lights are on. How much light will they block and will it look weird?
Well you guys that have them, if you have any photos of them at night with the fog lights on, please share.
Thanks.

Go with these, they look great and fog lights work excellent. Screens are for cabin doors. LOL

I have a set on my car that I got from the Vette Shop. Looks good and the fog lights shine through just fine. Sorry, no pics.

I don't have a night shot handy, but here is one of mine.
NO issues with the fog lights shinning thru the screen's at all.
Looks great at night thru the screens actually.

If I remember 
I will snap a picture later tonight. I have a set of Racemesh fog light screens that I never installed so I can take a picture with one screen set in place to show the difference, if any.
I think more important than the screens are the actual fog lights you are using. I installed HID fogs and they are fantastic. Combined with my LED switchback corners, they basically serve as secondary driving lights at dusk and then when it turns dark, I turn on/flip up my ACA HIDs (similar to Toque's set up).
By comparison, the OEM halogen fogs have the light output of a weak flashlight.

Which reminds me... I forgot I had this old pic on there.
This was years before I installed my Bi-Xenon headlights .
But you can see the fog lights thru the grills though at night.
