Why not putting Nokya super bright yellow 100W bulbs there (with heavy duty harness and sockets)? That was the first thing that I have done, when I got the car....

My '13 OB's specs say there are H11 lamps in the fog lights. How did you install the 100w Nokya's, which seem to come only in H9? Or do they come in H11 and I just missed it? I see only 80w yellows in H11.

Oops.. you are right! It has been a while, since I replaced those bulbs. The Nokya Hyper Yellow H11 pro halogen come with max 80 W (generating 2500 K)... that is what I put in. I had it mixed up with my another car.... using 9006/HB4 type bulb for fog lights... sorry about that!
Are you using Nokyas? I use those for front and rear turn signals as well...hyper yellow 7440! The yellow is different than the stock amber bulbs...and I get attention, when using them....

Moved my rigid light from the light bar to under the license plate bracket. Much cleaner look and lights up the road low like and extra fog light. Thinking about getting Rigid's smaller LEDs for the light bar now.

didn't want to spend more for bulbs when they're only yellow when those lights are on. i thought it looked cool at the time. i do like not just being another face in the crowd.

Thanks for the clarification. Not using them yet, but ordered the fogs and turn signal lamps just now. Current project is to install a fuse box under the hood do I don't need to keep running wires through the firewall, and then to install Philips 8 LED DRLs.

There is another fuse box under the hood - why not tapping into that one?

I tried. It's very difficult to fit an Add-a-fuse in there with all the big relays and such. Also it seems that most the fuses in that box are always on, and I need a couple switched fuses. Finally, it's a lot cleaner to add a small switched fuse block (and more fun)

Default Katzkin install

Got the katzkin leather shipment and finally entered the fray with installation - passenger seat done, totally underestimated the time requirement for this project (isn't that how every project goes?) Anyway, after spending a good few hours finding different ways to hate hog rings, I think I got the process nailed for the driver's seat. The seat looks real nice, can't wait to finish the rest.
