How do I replace the stock fog lights on a TJM T-13 Front Bumper

[cj007sd]

Before I purchase the TJM T-13 I know it comes with (I am Guessing 4" circular fog lights, please correct me if I am wrong about the 4") fog light cutouts and if you want you can have the TJM light kit added to the purchase. My question is does anyone know the proper size of the cutout? Maybe 4"? And my more important question is how much work should be involved in installing upgraded fog lights and driving lights in the cutouts? Possible PIAA's or Hella's. THANK you for any help, advice or feedback, it is much appreciated for this novice who plans to drive for the next year+ after my 2000 Land Cruiser is ready to go. Thanks for your time

They give you the lights with the bumper for no extra charge. Don't remember the size, but they looked like pretty basic Chinese made lights. They're nothing special, but put out decent light for a fog light.

Thank you for the Help no-pistons. Im also in San Diego and appreciate the help. I was hoping to install PIAA 4" and take the stock lights out but if you say the light is decent that I will spend the money on lighting elsewhere and leave the stock lighting in. Bumper is in the process of being shipped. Thanks!!

I am still waiting to receive the "new" TJM T-13 in the mail. Another week or two. I have a 2000 Land Crusier and have been told this "New" T-13 will now fit all 100 series land cruisers 97-03. I will tell you how the install goes and if the lights are good enough to leave alone or need to be replaced. I have been researching the front bumper, sliders, rear, etc for the past 9 months. The TJM was the best fit for me. Hope that helps

Sorry to wake up a 3-4 year old thread, but did anyone ever find out if 4" fog lights fit?

I am this month trying to find a replacement. If you can believe it TJM does NOT make a replacement. I have taken it to the "off road" stores here in San Diego and have all said that you will have to find a fabricated to be able to add proper brackets, etc. The problem is almost all the 4" lights are meant to be bolted on top of something. In the case of the TJM bar you are having to turn the light upside down and mount it to the brackets that were there from TJM(made just for those cheap TJM lights). So if anyone knows of an honest fabricator in San Diego OR a "off road store" that will do some simple metal work and welding. Please let me know. Replacing those lights have been a major PITA. Don't buy TJM for LC. stick to SLEE or ARB IMO. CJ.

I am at your same problem now that you did before. all my research is that it is a 4' light which there is one company that makes week power that I s exact change out BUT for a powerful 4" that it will somehow need someone that is a fabricator to make a Brett to hang low in. what did you do and any advise. But am on the right plan - which is that I will be forced to get. an off -road for light I will have to hang it behind the circle and mount inside and have the light pushed as tight as possible. CJ Semper fi. THANK YOU
