Default My new fog lights

I replaced my fog lights with a set of Pilot Navigator NV-362W from Pep Boys. Worked out pretty good.



Original fog light



Original bracket with fog light removed



New one out of the box



I had to drill 2 holes in each bracket for the new fog light





I cut the factory connector off and used the connectors that came with the new lights



Installed

Looks good and seems easy to install. What about the LED ring? Did you get that connected? Any pics?

The ring was not that bright when i bench tested it. I didn't want to add another switch just for that anyway.

Hmmmm those look familiar... I put those same ones on my Formula two years ago. The package is different, but those are the same ones.

BTW, I've added this to the Lighting FAQ:

Do you have to take off the bumper to install these fogs?

Same ones. Look in the Lighting FAQ for my install and others. You can find them at Pep Boys among other places.

I never connected the LED and I hardly use the fogs so the bulbs are still fairly new even though I did this mod a few years ago.

Those look nice! I REALLY need to do something similar with my V6 Bird cause the lenses are all hazey and they collect water no matter WHAT I do!

HIDs could work in those housings IF you have/get the right bulb.

I just bought these. I'm gonna look at them for a few days before I install them. I want the LED ring to be on anytime the car is running. I'll choose blue, thank you.
