These arrived today. I hope to get them installed this week, if the rain stays away.

This looks good. Im interested to see how it goes.

I wanted to go with the bfh, but the stock headlights really needed the fogs. Poison spider should have a way to mount the fogs on the bumper... if not in it. The JK really does need the light.

I felt the same way at first. The BFH is a very minimalist bumper so there's no place to mount them. I had to cut 2" off the frame just to mount the bumper. Right now I have a set of 55 watt halogens mounted to the top of the bumper with a separate switch for a little extra light. They will serve until I put a winch and fairlead that will allow me to put an LED light bar on it.

You can always go with their Brawler line if you must have the fog lights. It was originally one of my main features I wanted in a bumper but for a stubby of this size and strength there just isn't the space due to the gussets in place.

I tried to get some before photos on a back road, but there wasn't sufficient light for my camera to show anything. Which says a lot about the stock headlights, given my camera has a low light feature. If the rain holds out today I am going to install the drivers under the hood. Won't have time to take the grill off to pull the lights. Probably will wait until this weekend, suppose to have a set of 8" Led light bars coming that I own in a contest. So if they arrive I will be trying to find a spot for them and will probably pull everything off to get them wired.

Well spent Friday and Saturday getting the Jeep upgraded with lights. Installed the Raxiom Led H13 replacement bulbs from Extreme Terrain. Overall impression definite improvement over stock bulbs. If your on a budget worth buying, if you can hold out save for Peterson led replacement lights or truck lite. Install was pretty easy, one thing I should point out is that the locking tab on the relay plug that goes into the stock harness is to long and needs to have the end trimmed ever so slightly to get them to lock in place.

KC's are in...just have to find a level spot to take some photos 25 ft from a wall. Our driveway has enough grade that I think the light would be on the ground, not the garage door and would perhaps misrepresent the light output in a photo. Any luck with the Trucklites Ross?

TruckLites are in, and the fogs are in. Im ready to ROCK over here.

I havent had them in the dark yet. so I cannot comment on their brightness so far. I mounted the fog lights without mounts, so my position so far is thats fantastic. Amazing what you can do with zip ties.

Snyder, how far from the wall are you in your pics?

I assume you are asking about the glowing object in the middle left side of the photo. If so that is a license plate over 650' away from where I am parked. The ground is about 5' lower than the road surface. I will try to find a dark level place with a building at a known distance away so everyone can get a better idea of the output.

Show some pics of the jeeps from the front with the new lights.

I feel like new lights change the overall look.... Off or on.
