After much consideration on what fog lights i wanted to put on my truck i picked 2005 f250 factory fog lights. They fit 100 % perfect into the air holes on my bumper with no cutting or anything. What you guys think? I got the Brand new lights for $52 shipped with bulbs.

 

Nice! Looks good! How did you mount them?

 

did you have to make any special brackets? how did you wire them up to turn on in the cab?

 

To mount them i used double sided 3M tape , and that held them like perfectly but just for added protection i used just a flat bracket from the top of the bumper down to the bottom. Holes were even there already. cant miss em!

I wired them seperatly with i think 16 gauge wire. and i ordered a factory switch from an rv. once i mount the switch il put up a pic

 

Here are my Lights

 

I would recommend 14 gauge wire there will be less voltage drop.

 

Really want overkill best to use 12 or 10. I like using 10 as its more than enough for most things. Helps I got a few spools of it laying about tho.

 

You're fine with 16. There will be no voltage drop. Make sure to stick a fuse somewhere in the circuit.

 

I am sorry, those factory fog light SUCK.I have the same ones in my 04 ranger. If i was going to the time and effort to mount fog lights i would put in a good pair, similar to what southern blues has

 

ok cool, i put in an in line fuse holder from the parts store.

 

with every project i do i go for the cleanest job i can do possible. I was most impressed with the fit of these fog lights, i mean they fit like they were made for this truck. No cutting or anything . They put out decent light too, they preform good enough for me. Heres a few more pics for those who like it






(Dates wrong on my camera. sorry)

 

It looks good.

 

Thanks alot

 

That looks sweet Bud! Very cool! I like your switch too.

I don't think that the factory type fog lights suck, but I do think that the good aftermarket ones are better. I also think that the factory ones are better than any of the cheapo ones at most of the stores.

I like that the factory ones and the good aftermarket ones, generally don't produce excessive glare to oncomming drivers. Alot of the cheopo ones glare.

I don't know what brand they are the SoutherBlues has, but I can't stand any of them that have tinted lenses. Those KCs he has probobly work quite well.

For those that don't know, here is what I did with a pair of Hella 550 lights.

 

They are made by Pilot
