    Ok so this write up is for Pontiac Grand Prix GXP’s stock fog light to Fusion Fog light conversion. Its not a hard process and only cost me about 94 bucks and a lot of time cause I had to figure out how I wanted to do it. And there is tons of pics to make it easier for anyone else who wants to do it.

    And thanks to Koniig for advice on how he did his. Helped out a lot.

    So first things first. This link is the link to where I purchased the fusion fogs from
    http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/show...-for-HID/page8
    and here they are in person side by side


    Ok and now for the retro fitting to make them work which is a very simple but time consuming process. Another guy did it and he used bolts but I just couldn’t see how so I took a different route to make them work...you will see further down

    Picture below is a side by side comparison of the new fusion fogs (on the left) and the old stock fogs (on the right)




    And these are just pics of the new fusions



    Here in this one I took the outside housings off of one of the old and one of the new just to compare. Its really unnecessary to do


    Here is just the old fog in the stock adjustable bracket that is in the bumper. That bracket that the fogs are screwed to just pops off…but I must admit it is a real pain in the as* and a few choice words did help



    This is the new fusion fogs in the stock adjuster bracket from the bumper. I was just mocking them up to see how theyd fit



    And actually seemed like a way better fit

    This is the new bracket from fusion fogs sitting in the old bumper bracket. The fog is taken out of the bracket here cause I wanted to look at it




    Pics of the front of the bumper where I took them out. I pulled the honeycomb stuff out cause there was no other way to do this without removing bumper. And the honeycomb stuff pulls out…it’s a pain but it does just come out



    Now for the fun crap. I used a very large hose clamp to hold the new fusions inside the bumper bracket. The trick is to make sure that the clamp doesn’t touch the lenses on the front…I put a piece of carboard inbetween them.



    Also to center the fusions I used a budwiser box and a ruler to get it even on all the sides…and drinking a couple beers also helps out a lot


    And to secure the new fusions in the bracket I used jb weld…
    Heres the jb weld I used see the bottom to a trick I learned to set it quicker on the fogs

    And the first one is done
