 Subject: Junk Yard Tails

Message:
I recently went to a junk yard in search of fog lights for my 2000 v6 dodge dakota R/C sport. I currently have the white factory inserts, and wanted to replace them with oem but didnt want to pay the oem price,so i went to the junk and after having no luck in finding them i was then told buy some guy there that the lights wouldnt mount in the holes even if i cut them out that i needed to purchase a bumper that already had the holes from the factory. I was like Riight. has any one put lights in there? If so what kind works good besides oem. I want a good clean white look not discount auto parts special with the cheesy yellow look. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!

The thing with the bumper is correct. If you look at one with factory fog lights, the bumper has the mount molded to it. I found a nice set at Walmart that were the perfect size but would require brackets to be fabbed up and I only had a day before I left for England. Anything that is the same size as the hole should fit fine.

I installed a set of aftermarket fog lights in my 2001 QuadCab
I bought them from AutoAccessory.com
Bought the Dakota fog light kit: PILPL119X
http://www.autoaccessory.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/AutoAccessorycom/start.d2w/report?sku=46677
I used a knife to cut the holes in the air dam,
and then cleaned it up using a dremel tool with a sanding wheel.
The Fog Light Kit comes with an "L-Shaped" bracket that attaches to the frame of the truck.
The bracket attaches to the frame behind the foglight holes via a pincer type arrangement.
The bracket has a "u-shaped" channel with bolts on one side. The U-shaped channel slides over the frame, and then the bolts are tightened to push one side of the u-shaped channel against the frame.
