Received mine in the mail last week, installed over the weekend. I don't care what anyone says, but getting to the fog housings to remove the lights is a giant PITA. Especially working off my back on a cold garage floor. Regardless, got the LED pods installed, and they look GREAT! Super bright, really makes everything way more visible up front. The only negative I have now is that I have the itch to replace the stock halogen headlights with something just as bright.

Installed mine this morning, just in time for this gloomy day.

I’m interested in these but don’t know much about the install. I understand they replace the existing and is basically plug and play. But.....how difficult is it? I’m asking because I replaced the factory h11 fog with a 5k h11 bulb and it was a giant PITA. My hands and forearms are still bruised and battered and I vowed never to go through that anytime soon.....but.....the light output on the 5k h11’s is dismal and I’d like something much more useful. Thanks

I have fabtech crash bars, so it is easy enough to remove them then have easy access to the fog lights, I can't remember how it looked with the factory crash bars

I was going to follow Stage3’s video for the Baja Designs fog light install, but found it much easier to simply reach up under the bumper and remove the 4x screws holding the fog lights in place with a shallow GearWrench and a T-25 bit. There was plenty of room to swap them out without the need to remove the splash guard and bracket.

That first picture is what I see when I slide under and look up. The subsequent pics are from me sticking my phone inside a bit to show the amount of room.

Great to know...I already installed mine following the tedious parts removal and reassembly but then realized that I should've added spacers (move them back a bit) to allow more room to angle the lamps down and was procrastinating going through all that again LOL...I'm going to try your method...Thanks!:like:

Just installed mine yesterday and then realized I should have aligned them better....Definitely think I am going to want to put spacers on all of these just to allow for more angle because it definitely mixes with the headlights alot more than I expected even when I put them in with as much angle as I could get out of the housing bracket.
