Parts list:-Fog lights off a 02-06 GMC Envoy, $40 from ebay-Stick on tint, $20 from <a href="http://www.lamin-x.com" target="_blank">www.lamin-x.com</a>-About a foot of 1 inch square tubing, had it laying around the house-Strip of aluminum, 3ft long, 1 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick from Lowe's, $7-Longer bolts and washers for mounting, $2 from LowesI was going to use the stock brackets, but they would not line up with the holes, so made my own. I have a Word file I can e-mail to anyone interested, it's what I used for my design, so I didn't take pics of the process. Only thing I like is taking it apart and painting it. Main reason I went with the Envoys is because I got smoked headlights, and the BOI smoked fogs fell apart before I even got them on (they replaced them, the replacements fell apart as well). I figured the clear lenses would be easy to tint and match (think I may go lighter on the tint, not quite a perfect match). The Envoys are also suppose to be brighter and use a lower wattage bulb. Even after the tint, they are brighter. I got a new camera, so the pic after the tint didn't come out, but it is much brighter. So here's the picsBefore<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/Mystic012.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />With BOI's before they fell apart<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/After%20headlights/Fogs3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Lighting with the BOI lights (one side was fogged over)<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/CIMG6023.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Brackets<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/IMG_0013.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Envoy light output before they were tinted<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/Envoysbeforetint3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Envoys before tint and tubing was added. I didn't like how far they stuck out in the bumper, and was afraid it would scratch the paint (just had the bumper painted a few months back.<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/IMG_0025.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Another of the lights before tint<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/Envoysbeforetint.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Light output with tint (sorry, only pic that would turn out, it is brighter)<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/IMG_0020.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Finished product<img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/IMG_0047.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c387/beatty_preston/My%2096%20Mystic%20Cobra/Envoy%20Swap%20Pics/IMG_0052.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Let me know what you all think, and again, I have the how to saved in a file from another member, PM me if any of you would like it.</blockquote>
