Silver8oH did you remove the whole bumper support from the bumper? I don't see any other way to remove the fog light without doing that first. Thanks.

And where did you find these for $180, every place I see is $200?

Or you could have done the pre order and got them for less!

I still have to get a picture up, (sorry I'm in the process of moving) but I would say it absolutely makes a night and day difference. I would have no problem installing these again. It sucked worse for me because I wasn't paying attention when I was researching and thought it would take 15min, but didn't realize that it was for the Sierra's that made it so easy.

For me, I the hids and the fogs at the same time, so I can't tell you how much better they are. I've heard great things as the rigids as well, just didn't have that kind've budget as I got a descent deals with the hids and fogs together...

So have you removed the fog light by removing the bumper support without removing the bumper . Did the bumper support come out easily or was it pretty difficult to pull it out once the bolts were removed?

Im asking because there looks as if there is a piece on the top that sticks up into the bumper or something so I was trying to see how hard this was to remove.

You are right about this I almost did but when they told me the bumper had to come off I got turned off by the install. See that you don't have to now im rethinking ordering them just waiting to see some light output from them.

I wish I was at home so I could take pictures..

First off I have my plastic valence off. Starting with the driver side, I turned the wheels all the way to the left to make room to pull the fog light out.

Then I used a torx to remove 3 screw that hold the carpet liner in place.

Then I got underneath and removed 3 size 15 bolts that removed the support.

Then I unplugged the fog light and the 2 dart clips on top.

I removed (what I think was 5?) size 15 bolts.

That whole black metal bracket that holds the fog housing should slide down and out through the side after pulling the carpet liner back.

After that it's pretty self explanatory. Just don't forget to transfer the three clips onto the new fog like I did lol.

Same process on the passenger side

I bought the hid kit for the headlights and the fogs at the same time. It was $180 for the fogs to buy the kit together. I also left those two items in my cart for a few days and they sent me a 10% code as well so I gotta pretty good deal.

Yes thanks for the explanation. I'm sick of the moisture in mine popping the $25 bulbs! Ordering today.

Yeah no problem, wish I would've looked better to begin with because I was excited to receive them and install and I seen someone say you had to remove the bumper so I started.

Just know I noticed with mine, they're not an exact match with the headlights. I ordered a 55w 6500 kit and when I called TRS they said it would match because the 55w you take -1000 kelvins away. the headlights are white but the fogs have a slight blue hue to them. Not enough for me to care, but just letting everyone know that doesn't.
