Can I see some of your guys setups? I searched.... what i got didn't really help me lol.
I picked up a set of navigators from meijer, a basic cheap set to put in my stock spot for right now. (Atleast they'll be road legal) But I wanna go with a bumper setup sooner or later so I'm looking for ideas on both.

So here's tomorrows plan..
1) I'm going to trim the bumper cover where the fog lights are suppose to go stock. I'm going to install this cheap navigator set down there, mainly because it is nearly an exact fit for the spot based upon my lining it up. I've used these type back when I was younger and into more ricer things (confused time), they lasted me through some quality snow falls. If they die in water or mud oh well, they were 15.99.
2) Habor Freight in Westland, MI to check my options for other lights primarily to be mounted on the bumper.
3) I'm upgrading my front speakers, since I bought Alpine Type S component speakers for the back... I realized I wanted component all the way around just for the hell of it.
My further questions...
where did you guys enter your fire wall for switch mounting, whether it be for amplifier wiring or for lighting.

Epic fail today...
My father began to assist me doing my lights and my buddy doing his lights on his explorer...
My dad drops my fog light right after I cut out the spot in the bumper and drilled the hole. I was able to return the lights, then it started raining.. Speakers and explorer done. My fogs still not on

Ok this is my setup... As of today with the first install being done. i purchased a set of 23 dollar Navigators are pep boys, I had to hit a hardware store to get nutz to secure them. The one mistake I made is I put the bracket a little too close to the bumper cover on the front. So i can't make them go any lower unless I move it over a little side, but since I cut into the bottom of the bumper cover yesterday I may just trim it a little bit on top to make it happen.
Anyways... for being small and cheap, these are without a doubt better than the bigger pilot lights my buddy put on his explorer. Secondly with how they are angled now, they are just barely less bright then my Sylvania xtra vision head light lamps.
I have more pics of the install process on my blackberry but its not letting me upload for some reason.
