It just looks badass this way, that's why I do it.

not being critical, Just mentioning that is one way and there are others. The way yours are hooked up didn't have the extra hassle of running the wires thru the firewall. Also mentioned I can go the one step futher and run just the grill lights. It's cool what you did. If we all did the same, it would get really boreing really fast.

I prefer the more aggressive big round Hella's or big round Bosch, and drill hole through the front bumper, so the lights are on display for others to admire. the mounting hole for the Hella is right at the back of the housing, so you still get enough clearance to be able to open the hood. I'm getting mine installed in a month and then will post the pictures. I'll be running three lights on the bumber, 2 fog lamps, and a central driving lamp.

I'm looking at a set of dual bulb reflectors, they come with 2-55 W H3's, but I think I'll upgrade em right off the bat to 100W H3's, and install a relay, that is about a 40 amp draw... and upgrade the wiring to 12 ga as well.

+1, I like the look of the extra fogs through a mesh grille... definitely going to do that..
