    HID Projector Foglight build, Advice appreciated

    Hey r3v!

    Im in the (year long, because i'm horribly lazy) process of retrofitting larger projectors with an HID kit into a set of late model fogs. I'm using 3/16 foamcoare to mockup the extended housing, as well as fabricating a mount for the projector to sit in. I'm currently in a rut, since I don't know what to use for final assembly. I've considered using 1/8 or 1/4 acrylic or polycarbonate to build the final housing out of, but I was curious if anybody else on r3v had done something similar and had advice to offer on the matter.the black and red wires coming off of the projector are for a hi/lo beam flap, and i think im going to incorporate a hi beam/hi fog, lo beam/lo fog set up for the country road twisties. Pictures shown are where I'm at now! Enjoy!

    Sub'd. I have an old pair of fog lights that I really want to do this with.

      update: so i have one complete good late model foglight that i mounted up to valence to at least have one working foglight in the meantime. my sizing and dimensions on this mockup are WAY off and i think i might have to redesign the whole thing. im gonna follow through on my original plan first though, and im probably going to end up using 3/16" polycarbonate sheet
