Default Has anyone put foglights on the Insight

Has anyone put foglights on their Insight? I am looking to put lights like the one in this blue Insight picture.

http://www.micro-fault.com/filedrop/ins ... covers.jpg

But I haven't been able to find anything like it. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before anywhere, or does anyone know a place that makes custom lights? Any input is be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Default foglights

Snow,

you can only get those lights from Photoshop. Sorry.

Consider that on some vehicles, the Insight headlights would be foglights!

I know the pic has been digitally manipulated, but it's possible those fog lights had some real-world inspiration. Maybe time to start watching cars around you and see if any seem to have something close.

Sure wish I knew who the author or that pic was...It'd be nice to see what all had changed and where they drew the inspriation.

I think those lights are from an Accord.

The Civic Si has a foglight kit that might fit on the Insight, but it would take some McGuivering to get them to fit.

It would be easy to add a pair of off the shelf foglights to the Insight. Maybe Piaa's or Hella.

Default Fog / driving lights

I put a pair of ultra thin driving lights between the hood and the top of the bumper. Was a rather easy installation that is aerodynamic, looks cool, & practically invisible when off.

I'm ready for when the low beams burn out.

The foglights on that blue Insight look to have been photoshopped from an Acura CL such as this one, actually probably from that exact same photo:
