Mount on metal cross bar then run the wirers. Finished. I installed the switch in the lower kick panel by the fuse box. Power is tapped into a fuse, which means the light comes on when the ACC is on in the car. Very bright, brighter than stock headlights. The light has 5 pods of LEDs. 3 pods are Fog and 2 pods are Driving.

I also installed the rear fog light, which is wired as a brake and upper LED strip wired as a Brake.

I also installed other strip lights along headlights and lower bumper. Some of you may not like them, but they look much better in person. The photos make the lights "bleed". You can see each individual LED in person so it is not glaring as photos.

Thoughts and opinions?
Where can I find that 10" light bar with both the White & Amber LEDs at on the Rigid website?

Here are some day time photos of the Fog/driving lights. Both on and off as promised. As you can see, the lights are much less intense then in the night time photos. Not glaring and bleeding. Both Fog lights and LED strips. I am including a photo of the brake lights to show the difference also in intensity.

You successfully managed to put over 100 lights on your Z not including what it already comes with. I thought I had done a bang up job with 54.....good job!

almost as bad as those 4x4 trucks that have to have every single light on when driving at night, even when there is no fog. a bit of an overkill IMO

The led light on the lip and rear fog light would be as far as I would go. To each their own though.

I have been contemplating wheel lights from Oracle in amber but on the fence about it because I would probably get pulled over a lot.

I actually like the fog light strip in the middle behind the bumper, the rest is a bit much for my taste but with some of the crazy dark roads I travel sometimes, it would be very functional to me at least..If I could get a fog strip like that tuck behind the bumper with a few coats of niteshade, you wouldn't notice it until i turn it on
