lights on S5's

Ok first off will the fog lights on a S5 bumper interfere with a front mount intercooler?

and has anyone seen the initial d movie? you know those clear plastic lens beneth the fliplights, well how do they light up while having the lights up... I will try and find a picture to explain it if anyone doesn't know what I am talking about

thanks
marty

it depends on how you route your intercooler piping wether or not they will interfere. the clear lenses are ftp lenses, they light up when your headlights are on and down (they dont have bulbs in them). the jdm ftp lenses do have bulbs in them but are rare and usually $100+.

The jdm ftp's are day running lights. we didnt get em here. you can mod your lights to turn on even when they are down to make them day runners as well.

No they aren't, they're front marker lights. It's just a 5W bulb, no brighter than the marker lights US FC's have integrated with the front indicators and just as usless during the day.

Let's not use a crappy cartoon as a technical reference...

This is much smarter than wasting money on genuine JDM marker lights. Far more effective for a fraction of the price.
