Couple cheap upgrades

So It might not be the best light bar but it is CREE and super bright. And it's actually not a bad install. I actually just took off the splash shield and lined it up on the bumper support with the brackets and drilled holes. Then tapped the holes and mounted it. But figured I would go the extra and pulled my bumper off and fed bolts through the support. I had to customize the nuts a little but it turned out pretty good. I didn't think about taking pictures till I was already done.

How difficult was the wiring part? Did you have to drill or use existing passage through firewall? Did you install interior on/off switch or using existing fog lights controls? I like the fact that it's hidden and no one can steal it etc... On the other hand looks like a paint in the a$$ to take the bumper off and everything. I would probably consider one with one row of lights and see if it's doable without taking bumper off.
wiring wasn't bad, I ended up bringing the wire up where the horn is and behind the drivers headlight. Haven't completed the install of the relay and fuse but I have it wire tied. I went through the firewall where the main harness goes through and I mounted the switch on a kick panel. I'm pretty sure this light is illegal to have on because of how bright it is. And the bumper is easier to take off than the splash shields.
I have those LED bulb's for my fog lights, I wrote a review for that on Amazon. They perfectly match the color of the Corolla headlight, instead of the cheap looking yellow incandescent OEM bulbs. They're really bright too. I don't know about anybody else who has these for their fogs, but mine have a really high and wide throw. I'm not complaining at all, its just how they are when I installed them. Get em, they're worth it.
Have tried uploading pictures here already . Have been unsuccessful in every attempt. Being told they are "too large " Further research is showing me there is a latest LED light that does not have this box, or even a fan attached. So I guess they both work. Anyone recommend the most trusted sight for highest quality product?
Learned some good info today about LED lighting. Looks like Ill be passing on LED bulbs for now. As many know, and I learned, Corolla low beams are projector lenses so LED work well. Corolla fog lights are reflector housings and LED are reportedly far less efficient in these. So Ill either opt for replacing the entire fog light or passing on the bulb upgrade for now. But thanks to all who chimed in to lend aid

nice, well, i don't really like the color of the wheels, but everything else is phenomenal ! i like how you installed the led light bar, clever. i've seen other drivers have it installed on the outside and it looked funny. what did you use for the wheels though , ill probably do this on mines but in a different color.
