IPL/Aerodynamic Bumper Swap Idea.

So I just finished hooking my fogs up. Yesterday I tried the whole wheel well thing, leaving the wheel in place. Dirty and awkward and I have no idea how people manage that...I put the car back together. Last night looking at the light placement, I figured that maybe I could just do the lights from the top. I looked, found the following thread:
https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...acement-7.html
It talks about just changing the bulbs, and indeed confirms that the top is the best way to change fog bulbs. I pulled the air intake boxes (see the how to half way down the page in the above link) and opened the fog back EASILY. I didn't want to cut the wires, so I just disconnected them and pulled them back into the fog light cap (see pic). THis got them out of the way of the connectors on the back of the light and got me a bunch more wire to work with. I slapped on my t-connectors on the fog wires, hooked my fogs in a voila! Working fogs! The beautiful part of this, is that it's completely reversible...that was important for me.
So, anyway, worked for me, might not work for others but figured I'd share!

it looks like the prices went up, $20 on the bumper and $5 dollars on the tank. Now i dont know if i want the Aero or Sports. Either way ill have to paint to match IP, so painting is not a concern.

You need to remove those plastic backs with the screw hole from the old bumper and put it on the new one.

you guys talk about getting the pigtail for the fog light... But getting the pigtail H11 is ONLY if you are installing regular halogen bulb right??
Because from what i can see on the HID kits, I can just plug and play, don't even need to slice any wires.. (unless you are going for double fog light power)
