with or without?

when i bought my car it had a pair of cheap lights on the front (still does) now i don't think they look to terrible, least not as bad as i think the screw holes in my grill would look (tiny or not) the stupid part is there not even hooked up? (even though there is a switch installed for them) anyway should i kept them and hook them up or just get rid of them (if they actually provide good light i wouldn't mind keeping them but i've never used lights like this)

Re: with or without?

Personally I think they look out of place. The front end needs rectangular fog lights to look right IMO. Why don't you try mounting them behind the grill?

Re: with or without?

Personally I don't like lights in the grille area. You have 3 other sets of lights if you need them. But that's just me.

If you don't like them but also don't like the holes, maybe sell them and get lights you like for that spot.

they need to be rectangular . an IROC/Z grill with rectangular lites will make it look a whole lot better . direct bolt in on the grill , 200% appearence improvement . good luck .

I think you can get an RS grille brand new for under $30 from Rock Auto.
