Did you buy pre-cut tint for your fogs or just by some at walmart and cut it yourself? Which shade is that? I want the lightest tint that hides them but also lets the fogs stay bright.

Get with Bigworm Graphix. Tell him you need some vinyl for '13 fog lights (~5.5" diameter)

2)Option 1, but with fog lights moved closer to the center and tinted.

3)CS lower fogs tied into fog lights. Keep stock fogs on switch, in current location, and tint them. (CS fogs on when stock fogs are)

4) Option 3, but move fogs to center.

5)CS lower fogs tied into stock fog light harness. Remove stock fog lights.

The deciscions will take longer than the install lmao.
By Texas law you can only have 2 fogs just an FYI. Most cops won't notice but some might

Exactly why I'm still trying to figure out my system. I want the grill lights on with the headlights (maybe even with the parking lights) and then have the lower fogs on the fog light harness, but still want to have to ability to run all 6 lights when I want to.

You can have as many lights as you want as long as they are not turned on correct? I would be able to turn atleast 2 off (maybe all 4 off depending on how I wire it) .

Yea as long as you are not on a public road with more than 2 auxiliary lights and 2 headlights you are good

Or on a dark county/country road (which is the only place I would run all 6 of mine)

I know, that's why I'm having a hard time trying to figure out my own relay harness to stay within that law.

If I were able to wire in the grill lights to the headlights, would it be legal to still have those illuminated when I engage my high beams? (Be used for short range light)

As long as there is not another car within 300 ft that you would be hitting with the high beams

Nope. I respect other drivers and the first set of headlights I see, even if 2-3 miles down the road, I turned them off, and never turn them on with a car in visible sight in front of me.

Well I finally got it installed. I also made brackets and removed stock lower grill. However, with it being a Silver car I think I need to paint that part of the bumper behind the grill black...it sticks out like sore thumb. What do y'all think?
