I was wondering if anyone has swapped out the original 35w bulb in the early round (worthless) fog lights for some LEDs? It should make a nice option and could be used as daytime running lights to help defend ourselves against today's brain dead drivers.
BTW, does anyone else have trouble with the search function giving too many results that don't seem to be relavent? |

These are $22 for a pair, fit into the standard fog lamp opening, and only require minor fabrication to make a bracket that adapts to the existing fog lamp mount point on the car. I have them on my car and they're ridiculously nice.

This looks like a great way to mount them. I was going to try to use the stock mount and cut the light housing to fit into that, but then the light would have been set back in too far. I try this out this weekend. |
