Used the 19mm socket to round the corners.

Before sandiny & cleaning up the pencil marks.


Cleaned up & looking good.






Now I just need some fog lights that are around 3"x5", looking at some optronics from walmart or maybe some wide angle beam ones from blazer tech. They are both around $20, but the wide beam ones are on amazon I am assuming they are 3x5 or around that size, but i can't figure out what they are.

The optronics ones are a bit bigger than 3"x5" but still smaller than the hole I made.

Wide beam ones I am looking at, still not for sure how big they are.

If you guys have any recommendations on lights that will fit, let me know. I plan on doing an hid conversion on them too at some point.

So I had to take the passengers side apart return the fog lights to walmart & get a new pair. After that everything went smoothly. Also the lenses are made of glass.







Light brackets, built out of 1/4" thick plastic (left over pieces from the valance), then I used 1/8" thick wire to help support the brackets.
















I would like to get some hids for them sometime, I will get day pictures tommorrow.
