I'd be worried about them becoming mini swimming pools very quickly if the holes were on the top. I'd imagine water would ingress very quickly with no easy route back out.

I can live with the holes, those close up shots highlight them but standing in front of the car and you'd never notice them whereas the fogged-up lenses looked a sight.

Interesting! I guess if you hold a jet wash or hose in-between the bumper and foglight, then you may get water inside. I suppose one will need to try and see. I reckon you could get water in from the bottom, if the user aims a jet wash or hose in the wrong direction? As noted, it's far better to drill than having fogged up fog lightsMACK wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 10:42 amI'd be worried about them becoming mini swimming pools very quickly if the holes were on the top.

Yes, one for my "to-do" list as well - shame really as the fogs were clear when I bought it.
Coupes because stunning!

Where does the water get in? Just wondering if there is anything preventative that could be done before they fog up and you need to drill?

You can get the foglights off the car pretty easily as it's just a few screws and then out through the lower flap in the wheel arch. I'd rather pull them and see about sealing the joints than drill holes that'll still leave them misted up in damp conditions.

On the way back from Scotland tonight in the dark of the M6 Lancashire, came a wonderful throaty sound from your DLV backbox aas you overtook me Marlon.
To anyone who hasn't taken the plunge get it done! Sounds awesome driving it, but also when your being passed by a Zed with the DLV backbox mod it so sounds sweet!

Good to know how it sounds to other drivers, after flying past you I notice a quick couple of flashes in the rear mirror and thought they were friendly onesLanky Lancs Lad wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2018 11:03 pmOn the way back from Scotland tonight in the dark of the M6 Lancashire, came a wonderful throaty sound from your DLV backbox aas you overtook me Marlon.

That 3.0 boot badge has made it's comeback debut I see.
I do like a bit of Satie, haunting and beautiful.
