My DIY mesh grille and fog light installation !

Excellent DIY. It looks more of a professional job.
1 month of work on this job has really paid off.

I don't have a night shot now but i have a shot in daylight. Looks like this... however, i'll make a video soon and post, you will get a better idea.

P.S. The light is very old and a small piece has broken, but it works well.

EDIT: the red glowing rectangle keeps moving seamlessly from side to side.
The yellow ones are the turn indicators and can be disabled if necessary.

Superb work done on the custom grill. Would love to do something like this to my SX4's bumper but i dont have the guts.

Thanks. I saw some videos on youtube and pictures on the net how these lights work.

YouTube - Knight Rider / KITT lights!!

They seem to be pretty expensive, let me look around for a more subtle type of the scanner light.

Awesome DIY. The Car looks superb now.

Shakensoul · 26th December 2008, 16:09

Thanks. Next mod is to make something like this, in a more subtle way with a faint glow.

EDIt : Or will this will be too much bling bling

Congrats, great DIY. Was planning similar DIY to my Swift, but droped as I may leave India and has to sell car, if that happens. Keep the good work and spirit.

live2drive · 26th December 2008, 17:48

Nice DIY mate..
The car looks great now..
Blue neons behind the mesh would look bling!

Nice DIY buddy.

I'm not sure if the scanner is legal ( but then again , what form of bling lighting is

, but read that the scanner type light display is to be used only by cops , ambulances , vip vehicles etc, kinda like the rotating light on top.
