Alright so today I finally got instructions on how to install the foglamps and I tackled it...

I can honestly say they are not as bright as I expected but I can always upgrade at a later time...

I installed them on the front bumper in front of the grill.

Here is what they look like during the day:

Fogs and parking lights on:

Fogs, Parking lights and 5000K headlights on:

5000K headlights only:

Hella 500's with covers on illuminated (Do not leave them on too long or the heat will melt the plastic covers):

Let me know what you think... I also installed some 235/70/16 BF Goodrich Open Trail tires on her too... Much better looking in my opinion than the 225/60/16's it had on before... There is no lift on her yet.. It has been ordered and I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Looks good 8) If you got the fogs they probably aren't as bright as the driving lights but you should notice increased illumination on the road directly in front of the hood - that's why I like my fogs so much and need to figure out why they went TU (maybe that last water puddle had something to do with it? Naw... :wink: )
