I have been looking at the one Harbor Frieght sells. Cant decide between the Amber or Clear ones. Any suggestions? Thanks

 

IMHO,
Go with Amber for Fog Lights IF you use them for what they are intended for.

Amber/Yellow Refracts Light Better in Fog Conditions.
If you go with Clear, then they are actually Driving Lamps.
Sure you get more light on a Normal Dark road.
But, once you are stuck in real foggy conditions they are worthless
because of the glare and bounce back of white light.

Also an added safety precaution the Other Drivers see the Yellow
light better in fog conditions. You don't want to go around a lonely road
in the fog and another car coming the other not see your lights in the fog.

Just my .02 cents from someone who drives 40,000 miles a year.

Thanks Mr Luv
I think im leaning towards the amber. I have 3inch round ones down there now. I may see how they look in the upper grill next to headlights.

 

i installed the yellows....and man do they help. plus, they kinda went good with the color scheme.

 

the all weather blazer lights are almost clear but shine yellow

 

Did it.
Love it.
I mounted them to the bumper instead of the lip, and I like it better that way... Then there's no weird gap at the bottom.

A+

 

i knew I'd find somethin about lights on here lol

i got my xb used with the grill cutouts already gone and there's a switch in the cab too, so looks like some of the jobs already done!

Now, to find these lights!

 

alrighty, i found these, but there's an M in the part number. For those in the US who bought 'em, do they look like the ones you picked up?

 

yep

 

Yeah those are the same ones

 

Awesome. I noticed a few pages back one of the pics shows what needs to be cut out of the bracket so the light will fit. Sorta looks like a plasma torch was used, is that what worked for you best?

 

I just used a Dremel, the plastic melts if you stay in one spot too long

 

Grimmace, you are a wise man.

 

Ha... a plasma torch may cause some slightly bigger melting issues LOL.

 

I didnt even have a dremel, I made my hole with an electric screwdriver...

 

hmm, i thought the bracket was made fairly thick, but I haven't had a chance to really look at it what with it being so cold here.
Further investigation is needed, though a Dremel could be quite handy for other things should I decide to purchase.

 

No Electric Tool Necessary.
No Dremel.
No Electric Screwdriver.
No Plasma Torch.
I use my trusty Tanto Knife w/serreted edge.
Guys, we're talking plastic body behind the knockouts for the fogs.
Almost any sharp blade or utility knife will work.
Now if you want to use a plasma torch

hmm, your theories intrigue me and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I just took a good gander at the brackets now. You're right, it's just thin plastic. I'll saw it off.

 

so wait the average size for a perfect fit with these would you say 3x6 ?

 

I went with the smaller, more expensive PIAA fogs.
You can go with the Blazer or other fogs IF you want to fill the opening which is
about 3x6. Just Measure the opening and find the fogs that suit your taste or price range.
