Don't need headlights anymore! Don't bash it unless you've used it and seen what they can do first hand.

side view.. Micro DE on the Left Stock on the right. you can see the one corner of the factory bracket that I had to cut a bit off to clear the mounting tab on the Hella Fog light.
top View.. I had to remove the factory Adjustment screw. It just pops out and since the Hella Fog light is actualy an alloy case the screws that hold it are plenty tight enough to keep it aimed.
Finished fornt view and Installed on the car.
I used the wiring that came with the Hella fogs but taped into the factory fog light switch to turn them on and off. Final result.. well they look like stock off but man they are much brighter than stock.. Now with my Catz 5.5" Driving lights and these Hella fog lights I don't think I'll ever have to worry about not having enough light in any condition.

I have a set of these w/7 color LED ring/halo brand new, will work like a charm with your existing OEM fog lamp brackets. Bought them last week changed my mind...
Anybody interested PM me...

Like I said a couple time in this thread I usually have a billet grille on the car so the "truck" lights look barley there.

Truck Lights are staying... Plus I'd rather have Truck lights than some Rice wannabe BMW Halo headlights that are all the rage these days

He has a grill that he took off to clean, and those lights sit behind it and are hidden when the grill is put on.
