I was looking at these to fit in the factory fog light holes. Does anyone know if these would mount there?

I bought cheap aftermarket fog lights on ebay and Im not impressed at all. Every now and then one of them will not work and I continuously have to open them up and play around with wiring. You get what you pay for. Some people might say they've had a good experience with lights like those but personally I won't get a cheap pair of lights.

What's worse is the seller advertises a lay away plan for a pair of lights that are 39.99??? that's shady hahah

Thanks for the opinions. Yeah, after posting the question, I kept going ack and looking at them and you're probably right. you get what you pay for. So, the search continues.

Has anyone found a light (fog or driving) that fits well in the factory location? I saw a post of an owner that had the IPF's in there. Has anyone else had any other luck finding something that fits properly?

PIAA 510's fit nicely.. not flush like the factory lights but fits in there rather nicely.

I just got those same lights and am looking for a good spot to drill for the mounts. Where did you drill the hole for yours? I'd like to put them behind the opening if possible.

Thanks.

I just drilled into the bumper. I am not sure you could mount them behind the holes without fabing some kind of bar or bracket.

I dont have any photos of installing the lights. Remove the caps, the brackets for the lights are at the bottom of the light assempley, drill a hole for the bolt for the bracket to go into the bumper, there is a nut that goes on, so that will require pull back the wheel well, bolt it on tight, install the lights on the bracket, run the wiring, I plugged mine into the box under the hood, then run the switch to the dash.
