I just replaced a factory fog light and all it takes is one bolt. The connector was a pain because it is tucked up above the light. Took me a while to figure out the best way to manipulate it so I could get the clip to release. Other than that it's a super easy job.

I used this one. The reflector is glass and it was $29 with free prime shipping:

Fog but after reading the new posts in this thread I'm going to keep the halogen bulbs in. They work amazing. I just wanted a different color that wouldn't blend into the dust on the trails I would go on. I think I'll just get separate enclosures for the led bulbs I got and wire them up like fog lights but separately so I can still have fogs and separate aux lights for off roading. Probably a better idea than my original plan.
