Having just put my Shrock bumper on (and unfortunately not getting to keep the fog lights) I was wondering what my options were, if any, besides OEM fogs? I know the factory ones work well, or at least everyone here seems to like them. Any other options that are preferably cheaper? What size lights should I be looking at, anyways?

That's actually a good question.

I think there was just a how-to thread on fitting PIAA lights in the stock fog locations. If it works on the stock bumper, it should work on the shrock.

 

[IZVERG]

Yeah, already asked about that...no dice, they're too big. There must be some other options besides the OEM lights, right?! I don't even have any idea what size/dimensions I should be looking for.

 

[Muzikman]

yeah, after I posted that I actualy looked at the how-to. They are cutting up the stock bumper to get them to fit.

Umm, best thing to do is go out and measure the opening. I know I did it once before, but I can't remember what it was. Then try to find a light that will fit the hole.

Here are some links I found that I think should work...

But I'm not sure if these are meant to go in the bumper holes or mounted elsewhere?

 

[Muzikman]

Those look like they are designed to mount to the outside of the bumper.

 

[IZVERG]

Hmm, guess it's to the drawing board for this one!

 

[Muzikman]

Find out how big around they are. You might get them to fit.

On a side note, while I'm looking at lights I'm coming across a lot of yellow/amber colors. Is there a preference in light color when it comes to these? When in actual fog I've heard the yellow/amber is better than white.

Ok, after bearing the cold a** Buffalo weather (rather, had my fiance do it since I can't bend down), looks like the Shrock fog light opening is ~4.25". But she said it looked like a smaller opening in the rear so I'm not sure how valid that measurement is. If anyone could hook a brotha up and measure your factory fog lights that would be MUCH appreciated!!!

Would these work? It says from 02-08 so I'm a little skeptical since they included Gen I models in there.

those look nice. for the price too. do you think you can splice them into the factory wiring? then run a switch to the dash?

 

[IZVERG]

I assume the wiring/switch placement would be the same...but then again, ASSume can be dangerous thinking!

 

[Duck_Hunt00]

as i know from expirence :drunken:

You can splice into the factory harness and add the factory stalk from yournissanparts I have done it. The switch is not cheap, but for ease of install and a factory look it is the best. There is a toyota switch that fits in the factory holes in your center console it can be purchased here: http://www.rallylights.com/hella/switches_illuminated_rocker.asp It is Toyota part number Part Number 00550-35976 at the bottom of the page. I have ordered from this site they are fast and reliable.

I believe the factory fogs (don't quote me, cause I might be wrong) are between 3 1/8" - 3 1/2", can't remember correctly...nor if I'm even correct.

As far as bulb color, you are correct that yellow is best for true fog lights. The yellow penetrates the fog better as it doesn't reflect as much as white can/will.

Hmm, came across these PIAA's on the Shrockworks bumper for the 4Runner. What do you guys think/know, same dimensions as the X bumper? Possible these PIAA's could work?

Of course the more I type now the more I think I should just contact Shrockworks about this...


EDIT...looks like those are PIAA 510's, ~$200, so not so much cheaper than OEM fogs.

 

[S_e_X-Terra]

Im pretty sure the openings for those fog lights are larger than the ones we have. I remember seeing that bumper in the fabrication stages when i went to jims shop and thinking that they were alot bigger.

200dollars fore piaas.....or another 50 bucks for the stock fogs, a new stalk for the steering cloumn...................Much nicer fit and finsh there. Dont be a cheap ass. If your spending 200 bucks, another 50 isnt anything.

 

[IZVERG]

Steering column stalk?
