    A few bolts are different.
    its a real simple retrofit. all you need is a 3" 3/8 bolt some washers, loch washers and 3/8 nuts and peace it all together. as soon as you get the factory fog out of the hole you will see exactly how you will have to mount the piaa's in there. I was a little confused at first but when you pop the factory fog out the idea of how to do it will be obvious. Just use use multiple nuts and washers to lock and stabilize the light on the mounting tab.

    so far good. I havent driven at night yet to tell about the alignment of them but after putting them in there I hope I dont have to take them out to mess with them. It was hard to keep the logo level when tightening the light, my driver side is not but it's as good as its going to get. hopefully the fogs dispurse light real wide so I wont have to adjust.

    seems to be becoming more and more popular putting the piaas in the fog slots.
    If you haven't used two nuts one as a jam nut the i highly recommend it. i found it made getting the lights back to where they were after pulling them out much easier cause you will have to remove them to change the bulbs.

    Thanks Josh, yea the lift is Skyjacker Platinum coilovers and softride springs in back

    Check! Yep the lock nuts are a must to make everything stay in place. I'm still haveing some adjustment issues but it just takes time.....

    thank you sir..... lots more on the list but everything else is so damn expensive.

    Thanks!

    awesome thanks

    I have seen no change in running temps on the scangauge versus when I had the lights out front on the n-fab.

    I'm not familiar with the IPF lights. I have had good luck with the PIAA's, had a set on 3 different vehicles now, so I havent looked to other companies, I guess I'm a brand loyal customer.

    Looks good bro. I like it! Have you considered spraying the area behind the grill black?
