Can anyone tell me the dimensions of factory fog lights and or Camp914 pilot lights? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Depth & diameter etc. After a bunch of poking around, all I have seen is everyone doing the same thing or adding large bolt on rally style lights. Thanks for your help guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Matt Update: Dropped the $ and got a set of Speaker 4.5" high end LED lights (Hi/low switchable) Took a ratty set of fog housings: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img85.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.1.jpg) Mounted: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img4.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.2.jpg) Up-close low beam: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img690.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.3.jpg) Crappy picture farther back (tough to get these photo with a cell phone): (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img513.imageshack.us-11125-1332663844.4.jpg) Having run real Hid projectors before, the light output is just about a bright. I would say that the sharpness of the light is not on par with HID projectors. Matt |

I have the Camp 914 Pilot lights and have noticed some members have them mounted better than me. Mine are deep in the hole I would like to bring them out farther, how did you do that?

Ian Stott Moncton Canada If you're using the brackets that were provided with the Pilot lights, then you will come across that problem where they sit in too far. You need to fabricate (or purchase from Camp 914) new brackets that will allow the new lights to sit correctly. edit: just re-read your post. Did the camp kit come with new brackets? |

I'll check the box they came in, I just used the existing brackets, I was probably in a hurry as we were going on a little trip and I wanted them installed as it made my wife more comfortable that people could "see us" in the daytime.
