Default Fog-lights in Bumper

I've always liked the look of fog lights inset in the bumper, soooooo...
A quick trip to Pick-N-Pull and I scored some Lexus yellow fogs. A couple of holes in the bumper and a little modification to the brackets and this is how they look.

I have a relay on order and will post back with nights pics of them powered on soon.

Yeah I wanted them in further but they kind of ended up where they did for two reasons.
1-That is the only place behind the bumper that would fit the whole asembly without a lot of cutting.
2-By putting them at the end, I can easily reach them to replace bulbs just by pulling the bumper end-cap.

With Lights on.




Looking forward lights off.

As you can probably tell, I need to spend some time aiming them for a better pattern. But having had quite a few cars with factory fog and driving lights, I have to say the Lexus lights put out some serious light. Best $30 mod I've made yet.

I really like the wagoneer grill/light swap, about to do it myself. Pretty easy? Direct swap besides wiring? Any tips? I may do just the grill, not sure yet.....

DIRTDOGXJ, straight swap and real easy (at least on my 96). The wiring harness pigtails for all lights are the same. Literally a no fabrication deal.
