Has anyone had any experience/issues running aftermarket bulbs in the fog lights? I was surprised to see there were no rubber boots for them. I just put some OPT7 LED's in there and I'm a little concerned about the fan being exposed that close to the road with no protection. So far they've been fine in the rain, but it's only been a couple of weeks.

Go Hawks!

The LEDs will be fine. However you should not be running OPT7s in your fogs as you are blinding everyone and reducing your own poor weather vision, read here to see why:
