Yes.... I have them and Henry installed them. 

They look great...any reason you chose the white lens as opposed to the amber? It is probably a cleaner install during the build....unless it was after? I imagine it can be done carefully by a quality tech at this point. I read that the white lens are driving lights whereas the amber add some depth and contrast in fog/rain.

Actually, the lense is different for a driving (spot) light and a fog light as is the light dispersion pattern.  The colour of the lense is either clear or yellow for the fogs. Yellow of the fog light in my opinion is subjective so I went with white I like the colour match better on my car.  Who am I ... to say what colour you'll like

Make sure you use a relay going direct to the battery and a switch that is powered off the Ignition switch so that you do not forget them on when the key is off. 

You can order another button from H-IM as well to fit on your dash if you have the nerve to drill it  

You can though use a very small hidden toggle (I used a rocker) which I used for auxiliary lights and just feel for it on the lower part of the dash that way you don't have to do anything to risk damaging the dashboard.

NO FREAKIN WAY I'm touching that DASH....I'm missing a few for sure but fortunately have retained some important ones! Will go hidden toggle....

I forgot if the dash has a lower panel for AC on your car or a radio

.... the thing that I would add to your car is a RIck Davis Scoop 911 vent system ... I am thinking about it myself.

Since you asked twice Bill, here's the scoop on that setup (pun intended).
I challenged Henry with duplicating the 911 heat/vent system so I could mix both sources (ambient & heat) to fine tune the temp since those 911 exchangers pump out big heat and it's tough to moderate it with just the cable lever, plus I wanted cool air as well.
His answer was to install a scoop under the bumper with large ducting up the inside of the fender well and into the cabin thru a shutoff valve, then into the blower assembly. The heat system also goes thru the fan assembly for boost and direction control.
With this setup I can have fresh air and/or heat directed at our feet or dash vents/defroster or a mixture of direction. Plus when sitting at idle I can boost the air flow from either source with the 3-speed fan. That means if we're in a summer rain shower, stuck in traffic and things start to fog up I open the fresh air intake valve and crank up the fan and direct the air flow to the defrost/dash vents and voila, we've got clear windows and cool air blowing on the passengers. The heat source which may not be needed is left shut. Pretty neat.
This obviously required a lot of plumbing under the dash but the lower dash valence that holds the radio and air vents covers everything nicely.
While driving thru Redding, Ca in September at 104F we kept the fresh air vent open with the fan off but directed the air flow to our feet and were very comfortable so this system is about keeping comfortable in hot and cold weather and works great!
I've used a lot of words to explain something fairly simple but I know this is a first for IM and as an option, one of the best you could invest in IMHO

I do NOT have A/C and actually have never driven it other than TOP DOWN here in HAWAII. I actually have not used any fans/defroster(LOL)/levers at all and not even sure where it all is other than the fan knob. Definitely makes sense to be comfy on hot weather so I will read up on it and certainly receptive and appreciative of your recommendations and experience. I did use wipers, once, in a short sprinkle, cruising at 65mph.
