Well, seeing how God has decided to make winter last that much longer, my abilities to work on Roxy after work are still somewhat limited. I tried to get as much wired up tonight as well as finding a solution to make the fog lights fit without cutting the subframe out proved difficult until I came up with a pretty ghetto-rigged idea (wheeee!) that actually worked.

These pictures aren't gonna do crap for ya if you aren't already familiar with the OEM fog units (sorry)...

With the lights attached to the grilles which were attached to the bumper, I was hitting the subframe with the endcaps of the lights and needed to shave almost 1" off the overall length soooo, I hacked the light caps up and cut off the entire end cap altogether...


Then I cut out some plastic circles out of ABF, drilled holes for the wires to come through and plastic welded them to the end of the freshly cut lights so they would still be waterproof...


Then I ran the light wires through the holes and connected them to the cut off caps which had the wire plug connector. Now the light wires can run to the factory plug location with ease and the light assemblies now fight with room to spare w00t!


Note above the fiberglass laid down to keep everything stable with the bumpy roads...

Buuuut of course, it got too dark for me to finish so tomorrow I'll wire everything up, replace busted bulbs and finally be able to drive Roxstar again =)
