Fog Lights?

Anyone got fog lights put on their 996? I was looking to install some in the break on my front bumper. Would like to know if anyone has done this before to avoid any issues from the get go and what type/brand was used. Thanks a million. See pic below for installation location I would like to use.

You are aware the car already has fog lights, correct?

Ben, I knew it was you as soon as I got the email reply and read it without seeing who posted it. I decided to pass on the fog lights and just add some paint in the bare black section to break it up a bit.

By the way Ben, I did get some quotes on some DPE wheels today, if that makes you feel better!

+1 on that thought. Seems like an over kill with an extra set of fog lights. In my option, Because of how the bumper is setup, the lights will have to be install too close together for it to look good.

don't even painted it man. the grill, intake part is meant to be black to break up the front anyways and serve its functional purpose. just leave it as is is my best advice.

and yes, the DPE thought brings joy to my heart. seriously , i'm excited for you because that's all your car needs to make it perfect....
