Haven't posted in a while...here's a little update - I decided to keep my truck and work my a$$ off to pay all my debts. So far I'm about 3/4 of the way there. Things are going great so far!
Anyways last weekend I had old fogs laying around so I decided to throw them on and added HIDs in them. Total cost for this mod : 90$
And about 3 months ago I put on chrome steps, on and my brother bought me a tint for my birthday. Right now I'm really happy with the way the truck looks.
Here's a few pics I took during the process
the new steps (no tint yet..):
I love how simple it is to take the front end apart. Luckily I had a couple buddies over for the bumper, but literally 4 bolts and 4 screws and the bumper and grille are gone:woot:
I was considering leaving the bumper and grille off...looks pretty badass but it's against the law:doh:
I like the quad fog mod! I removed my front tag bracket to get more air to my tranny cooler. Did help. Adding two fogs back would block the opening. :dunno: I have added another cooler since and may be able to get away with it. Good job!:thumb:
I did to my double fogs several months ago too. I love it. No HID's yet for me though. Maybe soon.
It is illegal in VA for no front tag too, but oh well. Ive gotton pulled over and ticketed for running too many lights on the truck, but they never noticed I had no front tag. lol.
Your truck looks good bud :thumb:
I just had the headlights on and all four foglights on at the same time. Little did I know the law in VA states it's illegal to have more than four lights shining off the front of the truck :doh: Live and learn....$92 fine.
Luckily when I installed mine I wired them so that I can turn the two extra ones off and just run the stockers if I want to. That's what I usually do now. They are still there but I don't burn them very often. :shrug:
I showed the cop I could turn them off with a switch, he wasn't impressed, still got the ticket.
Damn, that sucks. I can do the same. I have actually met a cop car at night and I was running all 4 fogs and my headlights:doh: He never turned around though:dunno: There are some cops out there that are pretty oblivious to traffic laws...but you don't wanna get the ones that know the book inside out
lol I saw your thread about that...I was going to reply but didnt know how to explain it so here it goes... Mine were mounted on the bottom part in the center of the bumper. They squeezed right in there nicely and I just tie-wrapped them in place. Never had problems with the setup:thumb:
no prob hope that helps a little...I wasn't sure myself, but as long as it's somewhat sheltered from the elements it's fine. But you'll definitely be needing tie-wraps for that job lol
okay i have not read through the whole thread..just the first page to see what it looked like...anyway, i have a thread started and was wondering how to do this. i was wondering if you had any step by step directions on how to mount them and wire them up. i would like to run 4500Ks in them cause that is what im runnin now in my fogs. and plus it looks cool during the day. haha thanks alot.

Hmm...I'll see what I can come up with but my old bumper is long gone, this is my new fog setup. Same thing but a little updated. However this time I couldn't screw the bottom of the bracket to the bumper, not enough room. They're tie-wrapped to a little hole in the bumper. No problems in just about a year...
the 2 center fogs dont work right now...Yeah i know, defies the purpose doesn't it. lol
looks good i guess what i am asking is do you have any directions on how you did like electrical wise...that would be great! thanks i love the truck as well i can only imagine how much more light it puts out
