    Same Here! I took my blanks out of my 16 the other day and had a 2013 fog light laying around and put it in there and took pictures. It fits just like the 2nd Gen. But what about trimming the blank cause its not shaped the same as the fog light...... Wondering when they start selling fog light kits on ebay and stuff if they will come with the trim that's made to fit the fog light? Here are some pics for you guys who are curious!!

    I got the fog lights and hid installed today. it was really easy. routing everything to hide the cords probably took the most time. I went with the 50w and 6500k. according to the info on their website i guess the 50w -1000k if i read it right. which means the color should be around a 5500k but have 20% more brightness. i will get some pictures up when it gets dark :)

    Truck is not pre wired but that's easy to do. Going to do it the same as my 15, put the switch in this location! Just need some oem bezels that are already cut out for the fogs!
    I should be able to put a switch there, I think that block off is the same as the 2nd gen!

    i just wanted to add an update: Holy god these things are bright. after i installed them yesterday i had to head out to work before it got dark. no chance to adjust or anything. it got dark right as i was finishing up the first job, so i checked the light line/ profile on a wall. everything seemed pretty level. as soon as i hit road traffic i started getting flashed, i would say roughly 2/3rds of non city/town traffic. i also noticed that most oncoming traffic would be hugging their white line or hit the rumble strips like they were trying to dodge the lumens. people in my lane would speed up or a few even pulled over, saw hands covering mirrors, ect. I'm obviously going to have to aim them down a bit... [​IMG]

    pictures tonight, cell phone couldn't really capture it well. just got my nikon back today from someone who was borrowing it for a wedding.

    here'e some comparisons, is this what you wanted? the leds have more heft to them than the stock. really quality feel to them.
    the touch screen on my phone stopped working last friday and i should have a new one tomorrow. planning on doing a little video of how i routed the wires and placed the ballasts. I have some more pictures of the lights at night on my camera, but it was difficult to get a decent looking shot. any suggestions on a better method?

    i really am loving this upgrade, i look forward to the dark now.

    Thanks man they look sweet! Some picks of the wire routing and stuff work be great! Also what kind of bolt did u use to bolt the lights in? Cause I believe it only requires 1 bolt right?

    Yea, there is only one screw for each at the back of the housing. there are two included with the led fogs, or you can just re-use the ones that held the stock lights in. I will get some pictures or a short video up of the wire routing as soon as i get my new phone.

    these pics don't do it any sort of justice.

    They look sweet, it looks like the screw that you mount the fog lights gets screwed in from the front from that last picture?

    in the picture of the fog installed w/o the shroud, the nipple on the top right is where point of the screw would end, coming from the inside. the two on the other side are just square inserts, i suppose you could add more screws if you were worried about stability.

    width on what?

    Only thing I'm waiting on is to get some bezels for my bumper cause right now mine dont have holes for the fogs. Where is your fog switch at in the truck?
