I don't need fogs/stripes/decals or anything on my Monte to look aggressive. When I pull up on someone they know it is aggressive without any of the add-ons. [/align][/align]Why change perfection? [/align][/align]If they were meant to be on then they would be on without havingtotoggle a switch. They are there to aid in adverse conditions and that's it. When it rains you turn on your lights andwipers.[/align][/align]When I see cars running with their fogs on outside of these conditions I don't think aggression I think "What a joke" Some state well I can see better at night with them on well then I think you should have you headlights checked or you eye examined because fogs are just annoying to other drivers in clear conditions. [/align][/align]Your say yourthinking of your own safety? What about those around you that you blind because you just think you want to look more aggressive? A lot of fogs are after market and are aimed to high.

When I come down the road, at night, I want all the light I can pour out of the front of the Monte. I want to look like a scene from "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind". Hopefully, after an adjustment period of being wired "Stock" ... I can have a couple of buttons to push that will fire-up my Fog Lights and have them flash to warn slowpokes to stay out of the passing lane unless they are passing like I am trying to do to them. Nothing that would be confused with Cop flashing lights ... more a European flashing to clear the road ahead of Road Hogs who won't pull over and let anybody get by. For those drivers that let traffic stack-up behind them; I'll pretend they are Death Rays or Laser Weapons and destroy them, clearing the way for those who are more swift and heavy footed with 60-degree V-6 power, Cruise Control, Fog Lights and new stickers!

Space:

You are just too creative. I don't know where you get all your art work ... but, I wish I could do it too.
As a matter of fact ... I wish I had the savvy to just post a photograph of my ride so I could ask Black Attack to make me a signature like the other great ones!

I'll be getting a close-up look at how the Fog Lights mount, soon. While we were just outside walking the Westie, we saw a 2004 Black Monte SS in the street outside my neighbor's house. Come to find-out ... it's her Mother's Monte. Her mother has a SS! The mother tells me she thinks its better than a Caddie and she loves the ride. I asked i f I could take a close look at how the Fog Lights get mounted and she says YES!

So, that mystery will be solved and I'll be able to mount my aggressive lighting instruments without the guess-work. Good. I got a notice from FedEx Tracking that my Switch and Relay are shipped. Good. The Lights, themselves, have not arrived yet ... not good.

It's SuperBowl Sunday and I'm a Pat's Fan. Good.
Let's GO Pat's.
I wish I could flash my aggressive lights for them ... but, it's not time yet.

Pats: 30 Giants: 15 (Let's see how close I get!)

When I see cars running with their fogs on outside of these conditions I don't think aggression I think "What a joke" Some state well I can see better at night with them on well then I think you should have you headlights checked or you eye examined because fogs are just annoying to other drivers in clear conditions.


So you think I'm in the wrongwhen I come down the road with my normal 80 watt bulbs and here comes a pick up which already has it's headlights right square in my field of vision with their silver star bulbs in their fog light position?

What are those purple-ish looking lights some drivers use now? Cause an SUV came at me last night with them not only as headlight bulbs but also as their fog lights. I all but ran off the road trying to drive past this #$^&*& SOB!!

I for one would get these bulbs outlawed if I could.

Still, it won't stop them or other drivers from using these bulbs.

I'd just like to return the favor. Know what I mean?

PS.2 wrongs do not make 1 right.
2 wrongs make1 left.

I got the box and unpacked the lights. No big deal getting them to go in the car. One anchor screw does the job. I went looking for the wires to hook them up and didn't find pigs with the light bulb ends anywhere ... so I'm doing the Hard Wire Route. Running my own wiring for the whole deal.

I'm just going to do a little bit at a time and get it done nice.
I'll mount them through the hole already drilled in the bumper cavity with a Stainless Machine Screw and a hard nylon washer.

One Machine screw is all the fastening you get with the mount. It's a triangular frame that braces itself on the bottom with locating tabs and the top screws to the bumper where the light protrudes through where the space-saving louvers are. There's a U-cut to access the Up/Dn aiming Torx screw.
That's about it!
