fog lights and bumper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smoked68 · 01-20-2007, 08:38 PM

I want to take the chrome bumper I have and put 5" fog lights in the center...sort of rally style. I can't seem to find 5" fog lights that mount correctly. Do any of the newer trucks use them or aftermarket? Im going to center mount them like in the pic if i can find them. sorry for the crappy circles I cant photo chop worth a sh**.

Why not get the bumpers with fog lights in them already?..lmc sells them

smoked68 · 01-20-2007, 11:05 PM

here's some Hellas that are 5 1/8" http://www.autoanything.com/lights/69A2152A0A0.aspx
Also check out the new...dare I say it FORD Mustangs 2005 - 2007 the grill fog lights are 5" on them. I looked and I know I've seen the kit for them online, but I can't find it now.

Here's a link to where you can buy the mustang fog lights if you are interested, they are take off lights off new mustang gts. I was looking at buying them when I had my mustang but never did. Just scrowl a little bit down you will see them http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/TakeOffParts.htm

Thanks alot skyfire & kbs71. I never thought to use mustang lights and the brackets should work perfect. Thats prob what Im going to use on the bumper.

what about the driving light oss of a a semi..most of the new arodynamic ones have driving lights in the bumper..

That will be a cool set up! Check out a set up like this http://www.warn.com/truck/lights/sdb-160hbe.shtml they work great!!
What I need to find for my Low buck truck build is a set that will fit into the stock (turn signal) holes for a 71-72 bumper. I had a good one laying around so it is now on the 70 but I need to fill the holes with somthing. Any ideas, driving or fog lights would be great. I need to measure the holes and see what is available.
