looks good, only thing is the location. Seems like they would get broken off pretty easily there, either with a snowbank, mud, or who knows what.... I've popped my licence plate off more than once. But if that works for you and thats where you like them best, all the power to ya

Acutally i thought about that, but they are soild as hell, mounted through the bumper. they'er not that much lower than the tag so far it's all been fine with the snow and my tag. Another reason is cause i got no where else to put them lol i dont have the change for a lightbar and they'er too big to fit behind the bumper in the factory cutouts.

Cool lights, but you WILL tear them off. I have a 3.5 inch lift with 33's and I tore the plastic air dam off my truck yesterday.

Why not mount them in the factory fog light opening? Even if they don't fit in there perfectly and hang out a little, they would be way better off there. And it would look way better IMO.

The lights look bright! Let us know how they work out for ya.

See im considering relocating them, but i use my my front bumper alot for pushing and i dont wanna run a chance of crushing them, they collaps back when bumped and actually fold up under the bumper where you cant even see them so im hoping that will give it some play if i do end up hitting them, soon im getting a bully bar ne ways ' income tax ' and going to be getting a lightbar for the bed also.

Main reason for these are because i need headlights and honestly i dont see the sense in spending 50 bucks on a set of headlights from the junkyard when im going to be buying some projectors next month, so pretty much the fog lights are a temp fix for the faded lights.

You do know you can clean up the lenses to look like new again, right?

Did you try the lens cleaning kit you can buy at the auto parts stores?
