That bracket for the fog lights is a pain. I actually installed Hella projector fogs in my 2001 Denali. I made my own little bracket by bending and literally twisting some metal. It worked, but was a pain in the butt. They had a glass lens and one broke. After that, I just went back to oem. I do want to see how this fusion fog retro goes in those assemblies. I just haven't bought them yet because I just don't have the time to do it. If you get it looking good, I'll probably make a set myself!
Yeah, I'm still waiting on my aftermarket junkers to see what I can do with mounting these. Should be interesting. Making some progress on the projectors. They should be ready for mounting by the end of the weekend if all goes right. But, I still have no other parts, so it may be moot.

Still can't do what I want with these lights because I need to access the front of the shields and can't for the life of me get the lens off. I'm getting frustrated. Have an idea I'm going to try later, though.
Success....finally. And I still have the other one to do, but hey. Progress is progress. I got the lens off, which gave me access to the shields. Was able to quickly sand off the black paint to metal, so now I'm ready to paint. Here's a few pics of this little assembly:
Inside looking out, with top shield cut out (turn your computer monitor upside down for the correct perspective on this one....lol):
The whole thing taken apart. I have sanded the black paint off the front of the lower shield in preparation for painting:
Now I just have the other one to do. These are more tedious than I was expecting, but hopefully the second one will be easier now that I've had time to play around with the first one. I've totally jacked up the cutoff shield with nicks and whatnot, so I may JB Weld a small, flat piece of flashing to the inside of the shield to give it a perfectly flat edge again.

I must have missed it but why are you cutting out the shield?
The upper shield is basically a foreground light blocker. In fact, they are called foreground blockers...lol. It's so your beam is narrow and throws far which is great when it's for a driving light and you're trying to see as far down the road as possible, but with fogs you want the light on the ground right in front of you. Basically it should fill the ground with light from your bumper all the way out to the cutoff with them removed. With them, you get a black spot right in front of your vehicle.
That seemed wordy. Did that clear it up or make it muddier? lol
