    So I'm pretty sure my truck got shopping cart smashed on the driver's side bumper the other day. I come out and the fog light is missing and there's top coat flaking off. Turns out the light is hanging from the wiring harness. Truck has factory fog lights. I wanted to get new housing to replace the chrome anyway.

    So I got underneath and both the plastic screw holes on the housing broke cleanly (must of been quite a whack). So I rigged it up and it's good enough for now but I figured now is the time to upgrade. Five minutes on Google and I'm seeing crazy prices of like $300 and stuff. Are these worth it? What makes them so expensive? You can get a decent set of headlights for that.

    Anyway should I just buy more OEM ones with the shitty plastic housing? Anyone recommend a good set? Is LED worth it? Do they all work with the factory wiring harness?

    If you’re just looking to replace the plastic housings, I have a used set you can have for the cost of shipping

    The dd pros have tons of usable light and look a hell of alot better imo. Personally I think it’s a worth while upgrade
