I suppose,that will be my last resort though, but i mean i have made the interfaces myself, and the lights work perfect, reverse light on one side, and fog on the other... its just not bright enough!

you may have another issue as the foglight worked fine when I had mine...probably not wired up correctly, or you dont have the correct blub in there, should be a 21 watt single contact blub..oh and 12Volts ....be amazed at how many people fit a 24V one as the nick them from work or something

So dont the afterburner lights have fogs then? At 350+ didint think that would be an issue. Or you could find some one who will overlook the minor defect, an let it pass.

the Afterburrnes have 4 led rings and four pods that go in centre of each ring ...a Total of 8 lights

you need two of the inner pods for indicators
all 4 of the led rings will be rear tail lights
and the remaining two inners will be your brake lights

all above are a legal requirement, as is a rear forglight...so you will

A. fit an after market one
B. Buy/build and interface so that the tail lights will get brighter when you brake, thus you now have two of the inner pods free, one for foglight and one for a reverse light

The afterburners on sale now have the newer style led rings that are also the brake lights, so you dont need any interfaces and have two inner pods to use as you wish

Or rather 2 for fogs and 2 for reverse, but I get what your saying. Oh makes sense I think the newer ones are the ones I seen on video then. I would of thought they would be one complete set. I mean its ashame to make the car look so much different and better but having to add stupid big fog boxes like imports do etc.

Wasnt there a set with orange leds on the outside as well for the indicators, I swear I have seen them before. Also there is another set of afterburners, 3 hoops but small are they made for the calibra or another make just fitted nicely?

Btw, I love your car what are the little circles in the bumper ? (back)
