I was just getting ready to ask lol...smart thinkin [emoji1303]Going to utilize the bolt holes from the side steps
Ordered these yesterday.
What hid kit did you use?Took the fogs off for some work. Tried to push the chrome shield away from the bulb to let room for longer hids bulbs later on. Also maybe free up some light.
I didn't like it so after I wet sanded the lens i opened them up using a heat gun and two flat heads and patients and removed the shield completely. Huge difference in light output.
Cleaned the chrome reflector bowl. It gets hazy and foggy after years of halogen bulb use and heat. Again big difference.
Remove the adjustment hardware. The adjuster nob unscrews all the way and releasing the spring and leveling rod. These springs get old and worn causing the housing to vibrate. Take the spring and stretch it out. Then install them back in for a snug fit and a lot less vibration from driving.
While I had the lens off I made a cover from a 12"x12" piece of acrylic from home depot. Traced the fog light lens and cut a left and right piece. Then applied a neon yellow film. And threw in some yellow coated bulbs for time being. Used a couple pieces of heavy duty velcro tape for removal and cleaning. If the film starts peeling or chipping I can take off the cover and apply a new film instead of applying it to the actual light on the truck. *lazy man's cover lol* (this is all temporary till a later set up. But was fun to do and works great)
Pretty nice deep 3000k color.
Against 6000k hids.^^^
