I would like to do HIDs in the Fogs.
I wish someone made a projector style kit.
There are soooo many of these trucks on the road, and the stock fogs are useless.
The fogs on these trucks are indeed useless.
I researched doing a fog retro for nine months, I even sent a set of fogs and the smallest HID projector out there (Hella Micro DE) to a legendary retrofitter out in Cali. There was less than a 50% chance of being able to retrofit them in those tiny housings at considerable cost loss if fail. In the end I just said the hell with it and sold all the parts without retrofitting them.
The easiest way actually would be not to do a fog retro, but to substitute the existing fogs with another set of stand alone lamps ... anything from more powerful halogen lamps, xenon, or even something like the fog lamps on this page:

The LED are much $$$ and a custom bracket would have to be made cause they're not a straight bolt on swap.
Here's the biggest decision that has to be made ... most folks see fog lamps and want something that illuminates further. That's actually not a fog light, that would be an
auxiliary light. Fog light pattern is very specific to combat fog, it is meant to have a short wide throw to fill in the foreground between the truck and the beginning of the low beam pattern, with a little overlap into the low beam pattern. It's supposed to work better than what we have but not add another low beam.
So one must decide what they really want, a fog light or an auxiliary light. If one has done a headlight retrofit, an auxiliary light is just going to overlap the xenon low beam and be dwarfed by it, and other than baller status, will achieve little. But if one has their stock halogen setup, adding an effective auxiliary lamp in the fogs can be somewhat useful.
