How did you wire them in? Did you just pick up a factory plug that matches the factory one?
I used some male spade connectors and just plugged them into the factory harness. Heat shrink and tape over that.

Nice! Can you tell a difference in brightness over your factory dogs?

I was skeptical about the aiming part, luckily once it was all installed they were aimed perfectly. They sit flush with the facia of the housing which seems to aim them correctly.

That looks awesome. But couldn't you just swap out the factory bulb with an LED or HID? What is the factory fog light bulb type?
You could...I did with my head lamp...but I couldn't resist this $25 mod:)

I use the fogs as DRL as I have plenty of lumens on the other pods...

The entire reason for me swapping them out.
