Red face Blacklines At Night?

I have bought the OEM blacklines, but have not installed them yet. Does anyone have a pick of the blacklines at night with the lights on? Thanks.

This is at night in my garage. The first pic is without rear fogs, the second with the fogs on!

Orange. That's what Blackline tails come with.

You need to buy an euro rear fog light unit. Tischer sells them. You can do DIY with lego blocks. I saw how-to in the DIY forum.

There is a $20 nicely machined piece you can buy without paying big bucks for the whole light switch assemble or going ghetto with a lego piece. Here is a link for anyone interested:

They do, they reuse your factory bulb holders (they are just the outer casing) so they will operate with full stock functionality.

You don't 'need' the whole switch assembly to get this to work properly. All you need is this. The only difference is that the button will not have the foglight logo on it, otherwise you still get the indicator to come on in your dash when on and the fogs work as if it came that way from the factory.
