Replace fog with dually pods? (1 Viewer)

[devildogcruiser25]

Maybe my searchfu is not that strong. Trying to see if anyone has replaced factory fog lights with some 2x2 LED's?

No one with whom I am aware. However, please post photos if you do.

I'm considering the same thing. I have the factory-stalk-switch wiring just taped up behind the grill from when I threw the ARB bumper on and lost the factory fogs.... i have a pair of 4x' LED pods sitting on the bench in the garage and was just considering doing this a few days ago. Just can't decide where I want to mount them...

I have 2 Amber LED pods installed in my stock fog location after having my OEM and replacement OE style fogs fill up with water.

I had to trim the OEM LED support tab with a dremel or sawzall to get them to fit (mainly I cut the OEM fog support / mount). But only on one side for both LEDs if that makes sense.

Took measurements and some pictures this morning. The opening tapers slightly going from front to back (slightly less clearance in the back). Height: 4.25" Width: 8" Depth: 3.25"

My lights with the bracket part are : Height: 4" Width: 6" Depth: 3".

One support tab that I didn't cut.

The support tab I did have to cut on the opposite side.

What it looks like:

I wired these directly to the OEM fog harness. I cut maybe 6 inches before the fog light bulb holders and spliced/soldered/heat shrinked the connections, has worked for a solid year without issues.

Just looked around on the rigid website going by dogsdayindurham's measurements and pictures it looks like the rigid e series 4'' flood bar would take upmost of the fog light opening and offer the most light.

Granted its not a cheap option at $219 per light. Other option would be the dually 2x2 pods but you will have a large gap.

The one I got were from ebay, the seller I got them from doesn't have them in stock currently.

But a comparable set here for 75 shipped: 2X 30W 6" CREE FLOOD AMBER LED WORK LIGHT BAR OFFROAD ATV 4X4 SUV 4WD+Spot Lens | eBay

I did seal them with silicone and no fogging / condensation so far. Def. not as HQ as Rigid, but still pretty solid quality for the price.

I was considering mounting two duallys side by side with different patterns. Haven't measured the spot yet to see if that's feasible.

Let me know if you end up going that route. I wonder what rigids dually would work best for that location. Driving, flood, or spot. Or mix and match? Flood and spot one per side?

@dogdaysindurham Can we get a shot of your whole front bumper?

I'd like to see how they look when viewing the whole thing.

I'm liking this idea with the amber LEDs in there.

That was my plan. Spot next to flood per side wired individually. I may also mount them this way (pic stolen)

I went with similar setup to these pictures. I was able to fit 9" LED bars, one on each side. I went one Spot and one flood. They give pretty good light output for $25 a piece. I did a write up a while ago showing OEM switch placement and how I installed. I liked this approach as I kept the factory fogs which I run when headlights are on. I have a separate OEM switch to control the LEDs.

Can you link your write up?

This post shows how and where I installed the LED light bars.
