DIY: EVO-R Foglight Install

soldknow · 05-13-2011, 06:01 PM

I just installed my EVO-R foglight to my black 09 Z...I have a stupid question...After I took off the old fake light & housing (which like everyone else, had to cut off one nut), do I no longer use any part of the old housing that held the fake light? If not, I did it right but is there any possibility of the new foglight getting wet under there? I am worry wart so I had to ask...
I have the fog light attached directly to the bumper with the plate and 4 connectors. I have RED on RED [for being on when the lights are on] and the White on Green [so when I hit the brakes, it flashes]. On a bad note

, 2 LED's are bad so I called MotorSports and they are shipping me another one. I have the smoked foglight but not too crazy about it so the replacement, I requested to be red.
Thanks for everyones pics, insructions and tips to make this a job "somewhat" well done!

Next, F.I. Exhaust!!!

Just got mine installed with the fog light button sitting between the heat seat buttons. The button turns the light on and off and flash when I hit the brake. Looks great.

Has anyone encountered problems with their annual state inspections, specifically Texas with the EVO light set to flash?

This is the same setup that I want on my Z.

Do you know if I can set it up w/ the switch to turn off all the time?

Ideal Setup: Switch overrides all connections, I tell it when I want it on. Fog light only works when I press brakes (flash) and Reverse(flash).

I am assuming this setup would make it possible, basically I do not want it on all the time, only when I really need it, like on foggy days

and in reverse.

Just an update for you guys. I never received and EVO-R fog replacement under warranty as promised. I was told it would be replaced and Jay is not responding to my PMs or emails. Last I heard it was send me your contact information so he could ship it. I did so...twice. I see he has logged into the forum on multiple occasions. I am going to have to fork out another $100+ to replace it since the car is for sale. I have listed the car with the fog and part of the sale since I expected to have a replacement by now. Would not have been a big deal if no one ever said they would replace it to begin with.....

^^thats really unacceptable. That should be replaced for free. I've been trying to contact Jay and he's not responding to my Pm's either and I'm trying to actually buy one. This is not really helping his reputation with all the delays and days of logging on and not responding.
