While my engine was gone for the rebuild I was bored so I made up some led bulbs for the fog lights to match the parking lights from spoke. I think it turned out pretty good for a daytime running light look. They are not bright as I selected a 35w equiv. led.

Looks nice Ralph. Did you get the transmission sorted yet? Never mind just saw your other post.
Happy motoring!

Awesome! I am thinking of doing this as well. Can you share where you got the LED lights from and how you convert the fog light housing to fit the LED.

Thanks.

I thought I took pics but can’t seem to find them. Anyway I removed the bulb and cleaned out the stock bulb housing. Picked up a 35w equivalent from super bright led, need to find the part number, and fit it to the original bulb housing with clear silicone and let them set. Installation was pretty standard from there. They go in pretty much like stock. Not sure how they will perform as a fog light but the intent was to use them as a DRL.

Alright, you lost me there. So the new bulb base is a smaller size and it is glued in with Silicone? I didn't find the LED equivalent bulb at Super Brite but then again I'm not that bright myself. av-943.gif

Is there a plug in LED bulb for the Pilot fog lights?
IIRC they are H3... but I've been known to be wrong. confused24.gif

I was looking for the stock reflectors and no luck with anything bright enough that can fit. If you can find some I'd stock them.

This is what I used. Base is smaller than stock. Click to view attachment
