 Subject: Stock fog lights, what can I do?
IP: Logged
Message:
Hey, I am looking for a quick pick me up on fog lights... Have the SLT QC, with the grey plastic lower bumper, chrom grille, and the factory fog lights.. The fog lights are real cheap looking, not to mention the lenses scratched to hell...
Anyone have a suggestion for something that will take their place without me having to do too much mod work to electric or body? Don't have a garage at moment, and really limited to what I can work on.
Thanks

Pilot had a set when I was shopping for about 100 bucks designed to bolt right in to a Dakota stock bumper. I went with Cyberwhite navigators, 55 watt, for 45 bucks. Drilled a couple extra holes in the factory housings, bolted them in, and spliced and soddered them into the factory housings. People talk crap about Pep Boys and Walmart fogs but they're bright as hell, made by Pilot, and haven't malfunctioned in 18 months and nearly 20 thousand miles.
There's also a write-up, I think you can find it if you search at dakota-durango.com, where a Dak owner took Hella Optillux or Angel eyes and modified the bracketry so they fit and look like stock and are adjustable when installed. There is a ton of options out there. The trick (and it's not a hard one) is making the bracketry work. AFter that just connect them to the stock switch and toss all the other extra wiring and switches that come with them.

Oh by the way get them in 4 inch to avoid leaving unsightly gaps in the holes once they're mounted. I think the stockers are a fraction of an inch or so less than that but the brackets and adjustment screws fill in the extra space so you need four inch fogs to fill those holes up right.
