The fog lights are probably a hole lights, but as they say "If the shoe fits....."
They are super bright.

Been doing some work to the camper to get it ready for some more long term use.

Installed these today, and I'll tell you what the camper hardly has any movement now!

Anyone know how to get spray-on tint off tail lights without wrecking them? PO decided seeing behind them in the dark was less important than having dark lenses.

Spray a rag with some brake cleaner and it will wipe right off. Do not spray it directly on the light though.

I don't have any tips for you but I do have a set without tint on them if you need.

Not on the rag it won't. If you spray it on the light it will spot it, but I've done it many times before. Paint thinner will do it too, but it takes more elbow grease.

I've got lacquer thinner, acetone, probably some MEK... I don't know if I have any brake cleaner.


I wonder what Hoppe's #9 would do? They'd smell good.

Looks good Dave... I use a pin stabilizer and it's pretty good too. I will probably get some of those Slide Support Jacks too..
