No. None that are any good that are cheap without cutting. Without cutting, for good you would need a V-6 bumper, however, that's not cheap.

Was thinking about this for some time. How about cutting one of the cross peices in the lower grill out and putting Hella Micro DE foglights attached to the underside of the bumper? It looks doable - there is metal for mounting and I believe enough space. It would be fairly well hidden. The only problem I can see is that the lights are a bit close to the centerline of the car.

Like so:

What do people think?

kw-da I was thinking about doing the same thing, mounting some Hella real/yellow fog lights in the same location. I don't think they will be all that close to the midline. I had the Hellas mounted about the same distance apart on another car years ago and they worked very well.

I figure for the Lx & LX-P, the oem fogs require a cutout - also the Trendgear foglights on ebay appear to require a cutout too. I'm not sure if I like that plastic housing that's required - this seems to be less intrusive.

Did you have Hella foglights mounted before? The beam spread was ok?

The Hella Micro DEs appear to run about $130. Not sure if I like the switch supplied with the kit - may use an Ebay circular one that others appear to use in their approach.
