Does anyone know how to remove the little deflector piece in the fog light housing? I feel like the stock fog lights are next to useless and I believe that if one could remove the deflector, it would increase their usability. Short of baking the housing and taking the screw out of the deflector...

It's a blurry picture but you can tell the color is almost pure white, it is extremely bright and the cutoff is very sharp.

That is the link to the kit I got. I got the Ultra HID kit. H11 bulb. 5500 kelvin (ever so slightly blue) (I can post a pic if you'd like). 55 watt. You do not need any error eliminators, harnesses or any other extras. It is direct plug-and-play...
So the parts that I can remember using are as follows:
2 - U brackets, 2"
2 - L brackets, 5" or 6", can't remember
20" SR-LED light bar from Rigid Industries
1 - U cradle for 20" light bar (from Rigid)
Wiring harness with cherry red 2 way switch (from Rigid)
2 - bolts and washers to hold on...
So, I couldn't quite convince myself that the Morimoto kits were worth $150, so I looked for alternatives. I found DDM Tuning kits starting at like $30. I went with an upgraded set of them that cost me a total of $60, on sale with free shipping. They have a lifetime warranty on the upgraded...
I bought VLED's, not the Auxbeam ones, but I was seriously disappointed with them. I ended up just buying some DDM Tuning HID's and love them. Much, much better than the stock halogen or the LED's.
I only use my lightbar when there is no oncoming traffic. It has 20 individual LED's. 5 on either side are flood lights and the 10 in the middle are spot light. It's obscenely bright to use in traffic. I also replaced my stock low beams lights, but I didn't have the stock HID's to start with.
No, the light bar dissipates it's heat on the back side. The warping was due to Snowmageddeon this past winter. Driving through 2 feet or more of snow and then it getting packed hard and forming ice.
10k isn't anything unreasonable for synthetic. I use Pennzoil Platinum synthetic and go 9k before oil changes, as per Black Stones suggestion when I sent in my sample after 7500 miles.
