Input about a fog light idea I have please...

[MyWay]

Ok so tried a search for this idea but nothing popping up....

 

I was thinking of buying a set of pod lights, probably the flush mount ones, cutting an opening in the fog light "caps" that fill the hole for us non fog light owners, bolting them on and wiring up. 

 

Anyone think its possible or any other thoughts to this???

 

Can buy a nice set on Amazon for $50 give or take.

 

I know there is a company out there (Baha something) that sells an aftermarket kit but they want $460 or something like that. Ill buy the factory ones for that amount.

 

Appreciate any comments. Thanks.

Do you use those daily?

Wondering if these aftermarket fogs are blinding. Alot of them say off road use only.

I've been meaning to (when I get some free time..yea right) play with removing one of the "fog light caps" and try to design a 3d printed recessed base that would hold one of those lights or similar. 

Will post when/if I get something made up.

In regards to off use only, I usually relay them off of the high beams anyways, so normally they'd be off.

I have fog lights on my truck and tbh, I dont think I would order em....have used em in mild fog and rain and really they dont do much imo.....they just happen to come with my pkg.....

 

We dont get super heavy fog in my area but it's hard to know when they even on......had em on my last truck as well, never used em

Yes. daily.  Turn em on and off with my phone. Bluetooth.  You can control the brightness level color etc..

This is kind of spooky...I had put those exact ones in my "cart" about a week ago to give them a try.  Just gave me a reason to order a pair...;)

I've powered them on and tested them, they look good! Now if only I can get a fog light base to add them on

Wonder if I can pull this off?

Bought nilight lights like above this week.

 

If we catch some decent weather ill try to play around see if I could find them a home on the front lol.

I made the mistake of getting a set of square pods and *THINKING* I could cut a perfect hole in the blanks and make them look really good. Well needless to say, I ruined one of the blanks and ended up just going OE. (More expensive, but look (and work) great. )

 

That being said, mounting a set of lightweight pods directly TO the blank, would probably work. Just keep in mind, they're only being held to the lower cover by 4 small screws. You may have some wobble.

Just a note...Ordered these on 12-5 and they haven't even shipped yet.
