WIP Corolla Quad LED Fog Lights
So the idea is to have the first set of quad fog lights on a corolla. I bought a 50mm 5w Cool White LED light fixture to test and it ended up being perfect, small, bright and cheap. Im using the existing fog housing off the corolla and added a PVC mounting system for the LED's by drilling into the housing and epoxying them together. Once they are lined up and merged I plan to vacuum form the whole assembly to give it a clean look and to protect the LED's lens. Here is the progress so for and I will update as more gets done. Thank you for taking a look.

Sockets came in so I mounted the pvc to the housing and did some testing with a 9v battery. All that's left is to wait for my plastic sheets to come in and vacuum form the whole assembly. Now to the pics.

I don't think some of you give this guy enough credit. He's pressed on after many of you gave him shit just for modding a Corolla. True...do your thing man..ignore the naysayers.

It looks great it is nice to see some custom work on a platform like the Carolla. How did you vacum form the housing?

Plus one on all the questions about how you did the housing, are they glassed in? Are you able to remove them if they burn out?
