    Looking for a stout replacement to the stock fog lights. What's a good LED replacement that won't set me back a ton? I'd like to use the existing stock wiring & switch as well. I'd like a round light that will fit in the openings on my Elite plate bumper.
    Thoughts?

    You could just replace the bulbs with Lifetime LEDs or replace the whole light with the Morimoto xB fog lights.

    What I was thinking too. But they are probly gonna be too small for that hole. Could always fab a little bracket up. Or fill it in with sheet metal or mesh or something.
    Homer what's the diameter?

    There was a guy somewhere on here that replaced the whole fog light assembly with a big LED lamp that was really bright. do a little searching and you'll probably find it.

    I like my fogs mellow yellow but you can always put in stronger bulbs and better wiring.

    ATO bracket worked great on mine.

    I was just poking around on eBay.. found a few kinda cool looking led projector fogs. Basically similar to the morimoto but with a deeper reflector inside. Cheap China crap but about all I know of off hand. They might be ok.

    Then there's these but they arent really fogs. More like spot lights from vision x
