Is it being advertised on a website? If so, which one, and if not, can I get more pics of it somehow? That thing looks awesome! -Trevor

Note the Euro-spec driving lights on the silver '44. Damn I gotta get me some of those.

Anyone done that conversion? Does it require a new wiring setup??

when you talk about the euro-spec driving lights, are you talking about how clear the foglights are...? that grabbed my attention... also the parking lights look more red than normal.. i like that too.

No, it has both driving and Fog lamps in the housings below the bumper. Paragonparts sells them, 125$ each. They come with fog lamps only on the US Spec car, but you can order the dual lamps...

Paragon sells the lamps with a 100W bulb in the driving lamp..that's reaaally high...does it sound too high? can the wiring handle that??

The lamps come without bulbs -- you have to buy the bulbs separately. Though I assume you were referring to the fact that Paragon lists the 100W bulbs as being for the driving lamp. Both the 55W and 100W bulb are exactly the same (standard H3 bulbs) except for the wattage. You could use either one in either the fog or driving light, though I wouldn't recommend the 10W bulb for the fog lights. I assume the special wiring harness that they sell for the lights would be able to handle the 100W bulbs, but I don't know exactly how it connects things. You would definitely want the switching done with a relay, with the power coming directly from the battery through heavy gauge wire (at least 14ga, 12ga would be better). I plan to get some of these for my 951 sooner or later, and I'll post some info about the installation when I get around to it if nobody else does first.
