Fog Light Retrofit - Element LED Amber Cannons!

Hey All!

I figured I'd start a new thread for this since it may be a project that someone else wants to do as well once I'm done. I'll link it over in my build thread as well.

I had been looking at these Element LED Amber Cannons for a while and didn't want to have some ugly looking bracket on the front end. So what I decided to do was find a way to mount the Amber Cannons behind the stock foglight housing to maintain the look from the exterior.

Eyeballed the lens size to see if these will work.

Took a look at them side by side to see what was gonna be necessary.

Marked a cut line to start (also did this so that the projector assembly itself would be untouched in case I want to use it in another project down the road.

Started Cutting!

I knew I'd have to notch some more to make these work, so I started marking, and cutting, and marking, and cutting

Which from the front side, looks like this!

I've got a bit more trimming to do to get it to sit centered in the opening, I'm also gonna test fire them to see where the light focus goes and if I have any issues scattering light that is hitting the reflector housing.

I plan to make some brackets to utilize the factory holes on the Element LED Lights and then seal the fog light to the Element LED housing with some Silicone to prevent water getting in.

In the event water gets in, I want to make it easy enough to pop out, take the light out of the housing and drain/clean. If need be also I want to be able to retain the factory light housing in case I get another car and want to take these with down the road.

Always open to ideas/suggestions but I'm hoping these turn out pretty awesome and make good foglights!
