My angel eye / driving lights setup, tell me what you think
Just did a real clean install of my new driving lights and angel eye's. FYI these are one unit, either angel eyes on, or driving lights are on. The below pics of one close up of the system off, close up with eyes on, parking light / angel eyes on, and driving lights w/ driving lights on, and a close up of the switch i installed. Tell me what you guys think.

the whole install was 4 hours long outside in 35 degree weather. The install went awsome, got the bumper off, driller the holes for the brackets, ran all the wires, zip tied them off, hooked up the relays, put the bumper back on, ran the wires through the firewall and into the engine bay. The hardest part was making sure the switch was perfect. It wasnt the normal drill the hole and drop the switch in, I have to cut a square out ect....

All in the end, I am completly satisfied with the install. Driving it awsome too, lights up the road (i live on streets with no lights) and the angel eyes give it that bwm look when I am just crusing around.

You have the lights/ lenses sitting out in front of the bumper? Good luck with that.

I was thinking about it, while the bumper was off and doing all the wiring, but my camera was dead at the time. However, I think when spring comes I will do it. That way it is warmer out, cause a cold wave is comming in for a few weeks, and Im not taking the bumper off and risking crackage in 10 degree weather [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] However the switch was simple. Just some major trimming to that black insert that it sits in, as well as under it where the dash is.

I think there is a precut knock out for a OEM fog switch over next to the cruise button on the left lower dash.

They are like a hairline sticking out from the bumper. But its all good, I never get so close to touch anything with my bumper.

No, there still is a precut thing for the OEM fog switch in the EX. Thats where i put my fog switch. But he came up with a creative place for the switch too.

take a pic for me, cause all 3 of my spaces are filled with the factory switch's. the only other place that i know of for a switch is down near the cup holder and next to the 12volt plug. But I got my alarm LED there. I can see what you are saying about the switch space there, but on my there is honestly no space.

Along with switch placement, where's the best place to run the wires through the firewall and into the interior for wiring up the switch?

I've got my CATZ MSX fog lights all installed except for that last bit of wiring and installing the switch.

Thanks.

yea, the left side on an ex is taken up by moonroof switch, cruise control switch, and power mirror control... in the middle is supposed to be the OEM fog light switch next to the 12v... but i have my booty call button in there

EDIT: on the 2k2 ex there are 2 spaces available near the 12v
