has anyone ever put foglights in their bumper or seen it done before? im thinking about putting them in the holes in my bumper of my 95 f150(ill post a pic below). just wondering how it will work/look

 

A lot of us have hella 550s in the cutouts do a search

 

Give me an email and ill send pics

 

thanks man! guitarist41991@yahoo.com

 

That's where I have mine, works great and the lights couldn't be better protected..... sorry no pictures of them..

 

They make my brights seem obsolete

 

Same here!!! Actually mine are driving lights, not fog lights..

 

thanks for the response everyone and Iowan for the pics. i think i know what part of my next paycheck is going towards....

 

Same here I tick a lot of people off

 

Since I don't have the cool bumper you guys have, I just put mine in some existing holes on the lower part, had the drill the holes a smidgen bigger but that's about it.

 

I have Hella 550 in mine. There are pictures in my gallery.

 

Hella 550's here. Got mine off Amazon for $83+ shipping. I initially had them aimed too high and ended up frying everyone, so I aimed them lower to serve as more of a fog light, even though they are driving lights. I love them, extremely bright.




The one appears yellow because it's reflecting something (a bag I think). Lenses are crystal clear.

 

Driving lights are designed to come on with the HIGH beams ONLY
Fog lights are designed to come on with the LOW beams and parking lights

 

Does it matter? Its all up to personal preference, when do the lights help you most?

I had a pair of 500FFs frenched into my plate steel bumper on my 88, and i plan on putting two pairs of 700FFs in my tube bumper i will be making for my bronco

 

Mine are wired as such that the switch gets power whenever the parking lights are on. Low beam, high beam, I can turn them on and off as needed with a dash switch. Headlight switch all the way off cuts power so I don't accidentally leave them on.

I had them initially aimed to aid the high beams, but being so low on the truck they don't help much. Maybe if they were at grille level or above the windshield they would be better long range.

For filling the void between the front bumper to mid-low beam they work great, and when the high beams are on they still provide light close to the truck. Oncoming visibility is another plus of additional lights IMO.



For the back I have a single 35w tractor flood light under the bumper on the right side. Toggle switch, ground side switched, so that I can turn it on with my reverse lights or leave it on for trailer hook up. Makes backing up at night with the dark back window much easier.
