Tip for Auxito Fog LED Install FX4

[lazynorse]

Bought a yellow Auxito H11 led fog replacement bulb. I found but one or two install videos on YT, where they simply reached straight up behind the bumper to access the fog light.

Not on an FX4 you can’t, I can confirm. Combo of bottom wind fairing and skid plate render access impossible.

I first removed one wind fairing.. spoiler, this didn’t help.

Remove the skid plate (assuming you’re an FX4 owner) and you have imperfect but just doable access to the rear of the fog light, from a 45 degree angle from the center of your bumper up and out towards the fog light. Even still, you cannot bend your fingers to naturally grasp and twist out the bulb holder.

I’ll report back on performance in the dark. Its light out quite late and I didn’t bother finding a dark stretch of road last night. In full daylight, from outside my garage facing in, those LEDs bathed my back garage wall in yellow light.

So, skid removal required for FX4 models, which was surprisingly easy to do. 4 bolts, not hard to manage laying on your back.

Even without the FX4 skid, accessing the fog lights requires an extra joint in your forearm.

One note on fogs - a lot of time they are intentionally dimmer/yellow to work better in inclement weather (fog/rain). Too bright and they can't serve their purpose.

I remember watching the Stage3 Ranger build series on YT and they had a video on upgrading the fogs. Don't know if there is anything in this vid that has something helpful for you as they replaced the whole assembly.

Hooray non-4x4 or FX4 or have any skid plates at all. Silly easy to get to under a regular 4x2 XLT. More so than getting a headlight bulb in unless your knees suck and standing back up sucks a bit (thanks Army)
