Really please with the results.
How much extra clearance does this version provide over the older version?
I might be interested in upgrading.
Put me down for one of the new ones! The previous version is good but the additional angle will help with viewing the buttons i think!
It looks like it should also help with wiring clearance. The bottom two terminal connections on a 5 post rocker are very tight on the old version.

@BenCC : ever considered a fog light specific to the Morimoto XB universal kit? Something with a more appropriate opening in the back for a nice single output self enclosed light?

I installed the universal one cutting out the back of the reflector housing and got a very nice clean look with great light output. I love what you're doing, but the concern is if I want to fun my fogs while driving, I don't think a lot of those (if any at all) square Rigid Industries style off-road LEDs have good cutoffs and you end up blinding everyone! If I'm wrong, please send a link, would love to find something with a comparable cutoff to the Morimoto! They also have a few different self enclosed options that could fit the space as well.
Just a thought for those of us that use the fogs on the road and want to be conscious of oncoming traffic.

I've been very happy with them, definitely a great budget option compared to quality pod lights. I like how they sit back deep the reflector to keep everything looking as OEM as possible vs shallow up close to the bumper, almost like the factory LX470 fog lights.
FYI I also just read this thread for all fog light pod replacement options, guess there are some lights with good cutoffs after all!

Reading that makes me think a pair of Rigid SAE approved fogs and a pair of Rigid flood lights (wired to high beams) would be just about the perfect combo in your fog light mounting, but that gets pricey! I'd rather use what I have right now (Morimoto) for a while and have a better mounting solution so I don't have to deal with a fogged up lens all the time.

Can you upload a photo of your setup with this kit? Thanks.@BenCC : ever considered a fog light specific to the Morimoto XB universal kit? Something with a more appropriate opening in the back for a nice single output self enclosed light?

Once the mount is properly designed to fit the bumper, revising it to mount the lights you have should not be a problem.I've been very happy with them, definitely a great budget option compared to quality pod lights.
