you would have to disconnect the motorized arms that lift the frog lamps up,that way the light would go on and shine through those lenses.

either buy JDM FTP lights or custom your self... i found a good thread about a guy buying fog lights at auto zone and doing his own thing. turned out good... but i lost the thread.

under $2 at walmart *get 2 *
rip em apart and take out the socket/wiring/blub

*I removed the white plastic backing that is still attached in this pic.

Drill a hole in the ftp lense for the wiring to pass thru the back .
glue the bulb socket to the lense, *i surrounded it with some aluminum sheeting *

+

like $3 at homedepot

=

it lights up at night yes... they are marker lights that came out simular to the JDM units...

If your wondering if you can drive with em only, then no that is stupid imo. even fog lights in teh ftp seems silly imo. Waste of foglights at incorrect angle to be of any use.

good up here in MN... some of the places up here gets too dark for the 7. the 7 is too low and cant really get a good lighting radius driving.

and i think its doable with the fog light FTP. just got to make sure its adjustable i suppose. good write up anyways.
