I haven't. There isn't really a LOT of room there for a projector, well, if any. I'd bet that 50% of the projector from the mounting points forward wont fit.

The 3rd gen fogs are round; the 4th gen are more oblong. You would need that extra space to have support for the projector (I'm assuming). I want to say they're a little taller too, but that is just guessing.

That's really a question for JJ though since he's probably looked at them both closer.

Oh yeah.


day job man.... :Wedgie:

Height wise? I would do the same shroud. The Gatling gun mini

no shroud will fit without a LOT of cutting.

There are some aftermarket "projector" fogs out there, and I've seen them opened before and a different shroud put on them. I'm not sure what size they are.......but, putting some in those little boogers will be quite fun.

Day job? What is this you speak of?

I think I might do the shroud, heat up some plastic, with the projector in, form the plastic around the fog light. Paint that ***** black, seal it up. Boom. 3rd gen fog light retro fit. I think

I'll post up a video. It's for head lights. But I'm doing it for fog lights

the vacuum forming one? yeah, thats not going to be your biggest hurdle. Shrouds can be cut, projector mounting will be the fun here.
