Picked up a set of these lights via Offroad Alliance. Kit number is ‘DD6347’ with light color YELLOW / 3000k temp. The kit replaces your entire foglight housing and are rated road legal.
Picture 1: The Lights.
The install is a bit of a pain in the ass. While the Stage3 video(BAJA fog install) does give you a general idea of what to expect, it is not as simple if you still have the factory crash bars installed. I followed a fellow members advice on just removing the FX4 skid plate and air deflectors. This route you are working in very small/tight quarters vs. removing the crash bars. Now I’m saying that, installing the second light(passenger) was a breeze compared to my first attempt. Once you find your rhythm and ways to get the tools working in your favor, the install becomes surprisingly simple.
Picture 2: Tight quarters once skid plate and air deflectors are removed. The Diode fog is already installed here. This is just a photo reference of the compact area.
Picture 3: Reminder, the air deflector has an extension that bolts to the end of the bumper with one off the wheel well panels. The extension ear where the bolt goes through must go behind the plastic wheel well shroud. The photo shows how it should look before you remove/after you reinstall. I didn’t do this at first, and the bolt would absolutely not catch any thread.
Picture 4-5: Post Install.
Picture 6: No Lights.
Picture 7: Fogs only
Picture 8-9-10: Light pattern
As you can see they provide more than enough light. The light brackets do allow for adjustment up/down of the light pattern. If I find myself consistently blinding other drivers, I’ll just need to remove them, and adjust them down a bit.
