How to: C6 Fogs Used as Trans Am DRL's

[BlackBirdDaddy]

A few have asked me, "how'd you do dat?" Well, here it is.


I have long considered the C6 to have the best looking fog lights by far. So, while rebuilding my car last year, I wanted to see I it was possible to retrofit those assemblies in my current T/A drl openings.









Now, these assemblies are considerably larger than the stock drl/turns.









Cut the backside of the fascia to match the plan view of the C6 lens. Kind of a swag approach, but I just held the lamp in car position as best as I could and then marked the fascia where to cut.

Also make sure the bulb is centered as best as possible in the fascia opening.











With the fascia installed on the car, hold the fog lamp up to the opening and mark where you want to install the brackets. Bond a tapping plate onto the fascia and bend-up a couple of brackets.

Oh, you will have to cut a little metal as indicated where I'm pointing in order to get them centered to the fascia opening.










Here are some pics of the lamp installed from the backside.






As you can see, the can is way larger than the opening which is ok.







Here are some finished pics.

maybe those wont leak and cause you to burn bulbs everytime humidity gets above 40%
