I'm now officially a ricer
at least my foglights are... finally retrofitted my IS300 foglights. it was pretty easy, had to heat up the audi foglights and remove the glass. Then, I had to remove the reflector and trim the projectors to fit inside. I then jbwelded them and used the rubber boot from the IS300 fogs to cover the rest of the projector.

I experimented around with pieces of black plastic to fill in the space around the projector but it was too far forward. Once its all together you can barely tell. It actually looks pretty good.
back together

they are the oem sides right now... but I have S4 sides painted and sitting in my closet
waiting to be installed. Too much stuff to do and too little time :-/
btw, the bodykit so far consists of an oettinger lip, painted rear, and the s4 sides waiting to go on.

honestly it wasn't so hard
throw your fog light in the oven for about 5-7 min at 300 degrees and then carefully separate the glass from the housing. you'll then see another plastic piece you can remove inside. The reflector is held in by two press tabs and the adjustment mechanism. The only way I saw to remove the reflector was to cut the adjustment mechanism plastic tab. Then you are left with an empty housing and put in whatever fog lights you want (well at least any that will fit).
Basically I went with the IS300 fogs because I missed my old CATZ yellow projector foglights and I came across a set of broken IS300 fogs locally (cracked housing but the projector was fine). I'm definitely happy with how they turned out, it was exactly the look I was going for.
