The 2007-2009 use 9145's which are decent

done with the small talk.


I was eating a delcious pile of popeyes chicken after me and my buddy finished taping and wetsanding his ws6 trans am...

so after popeyes we went next door to the New auto zone.. and i was looking at retrofitting a new bulb in to the psx24w housing
but.. NO LUCK

I stumbled apon a set of fog lights..

Pilot driving lights. 4inch housings with h3 bulbs. i was hesitant on getting them thinking they were a pile of shit..

so i paid under debit so if they blew ass i would return them.


got home installed them and holy balls they are 2x as bright as my IPF headlights.

heres some shots.

i took the old fog light mount and it fit perfectly and screwed right on it..


the blue looks great in person and grew on me instantly and it provides white light.. NO BLUE


IPF920H4'S ONLY

PILOT FOGS ONLY


BOTH.


Another shot of playhouse

just ipfs.... see you cant see trees in background
here is both ipf and pilots



photos dont do them justice they were takin with my verizon droid..




what you will need to do.

first buy the PILOT PL203W from auto zone 39.00 EXCELLENT QUALITY with glass lense
throw pos stockers away

1.Take the Grill off the jeep.. Six clips

2.Take the center peice in between the bumper and grill... 2 clips in order to remove bumper and have room

3. take off bumper.. 8x 18mm bolts

than install old fogs outer ring and hard wire the new fogs in with disconnects and install everything back to normal.



thanks guys hope some follow my footsteps in this... they are EXTREMLY bright!!!

Could someone tell me what this means: "than install old fogs outer ring and hard wire the new fogs in with disconnects and install everything back to normal." How do I hardwire them? What are disconnects? etc
Thanks everyone

(not really) you will be forced to cut the two wires in order to free up your stock fogs and install the new ones.
you will have 2 wires- one black and one white/stripe(color?the light colored one. doesnt matter. just be sure to keep black with black!).
you have to somehow, connect the black wire(from vehicle) to black wire(from new fogs). the other wire(from vehicle) connect that to the white wire(from new fogs).
you have many ways to wire it. you can "hardwire" those wires by either getting cheapo wire connectors or soldering them together and protecting them with heatshrink.
I decided to make it "disconnectable" and soldered wires to female/male clip connector from radio shack. (just ask rep. to get you a 2 wire connector clip)

hope this helps...sounds harder than it seems..just trying to be descriptive..
