Offroad lights in fog light holes

pgfd195 · 03-29-2008, 02:52 PM

I want to fill the holes in my bumper where the factory fog lights go. However, I don't think fog lights are really worth the money, not bright enough and really don't do anything. Has anyone been able to put a set of offroad lights in there instead of fog lights? I would obviously run new wires to a switch so they are not on all they time. Any ideas?

hmm...not sure if ive seen it done. but sounds like a good idea!!! the fog lights do make a difference when driving, but i agree, they really arent that bbright. offroad lights would be a much better option to put in there...if that works. but i dont see why it wouldnt.

Pretty much any of the aftermarket 4" lights should fit. I'd say you'll have to fab up a mounting bracket more than likely.

Although I agree that fog lights there (in the factory bumper holes)for the most part don't really provide enough light to make much difference, off-road lights need to be mounted higher to really get the light out. Lights mounted in the bumper do have a clean look, but still won't put out the light I need.

Also, the bigger the light diameter, the more light output everything else being equal.

My lights have to provide lots of light in the middle of nowhere (desert?) not look a cool color while cruising down the street...

Hella optilux fit perfect in there and they run a standard H3 bulb. Pair will only run you $50. I switched mine out for LED only cuz I could never use the regular bulbs as they were way too bright to use on regular roads

try running some HID's in the stock fog lights most of the time at night u just run my fog lights and dont even turn on my Hid low beams untill i hit the dark streets. I have 6000K bulbs in them and they shoot out about 150 feet and about a 50-70 foot wide beam ill try and get some pics of them on at night
