Esthetics question about fogs + billet grille

OK....Got my billet grille ready to mount. I'm kind of stuck though about what to do with my fogs, besides sell them. I'm wondering what you guys think it would look like to keep them mounted behind the new billet grille (invisible to the naked eye but still able to project light through). I guess if I wanted I could insert any color bulb into them. But I don't know. What kind of effect do you think it would have??

Sounds like a good idea to me. Wouldn't hurt to try, anyway. Post some pics, if you decide to do it.

Ok...but do you think I should keep the yellowish fogs, go with clear? For some reason when I picture it in my head I see blue lights back there. It sounds nuts I know. But ....who knows?

I'd go with clear/white. The police may not take too kindly to blue lights on the front of your car, but it would look good. Certainly not the yellows, either.

I would get the clear fogs behind the billet grill. I am planning on doing something similar, except I'm going to put circular foglights behind my plastic mesh on my Bird.
