Driving lights

scott2488 · Jan 8, 2012

I think i have seen this question before but cant find it again but is it possible to put driving lights in the opening in the stock front Bumper? I would like to have a set on mine just for added lighting.

when you say the opening...do you mean where the fog lights go?

bigbadram1500 · Jan 8, 2012

Or do you mean the opening in the front bumper, like where the filler panel is?

I can't even think of a spoiler on the front bumper.

Ooops i mean the opening in the front bumper...Sorry bout that

You can pop those out and put lights in I believe.

HemiBabe · Jan 8, 2012

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can, I'm not sure how they would be mounted but I bet it isnt too hard. I know someone has done that before I believe

Yeah i did the same thing. all you do is pop out the plastic piece and pop some stock fog lights in wire them up and your good to go. you can put them on a toggle switch or you can get the whole wiring harness and new healight switch with the fog lap switch built in from lmc magazine.

Why not just put them on a bull bar on the front... I personally think that opening is a little low for driving lights imho. As far as I know, as long as they are at or below the elevation of your headlights, they are considered driving lights.

yeah it is really easy. the dodge fog lights have 3 bolts and then just wire it up and get a fog surround. i just put mine in i went with hids and wired a relay in so they come on when the park lights come on and also have a switch that i can turn them off

Cthulhu they are not at too bad of a level if yours seem to not be that great there is an adjustment screw to move the beam when i put mine in i didnt like them until i adjusted it

scott2488 · Jan 15, 2012

They look good. Now i have to find me a set! I was thinking of trying to find a set of aftermarket lights but will look around now.

I thought the OP was suggesting they go in, just above the aluminum piece between my foglights, the equivalent spot on the OP truck.

If you are talking the fogs in the FL pockets, then ya, I do need to adjust mine, my passenger side one is looking for owls...

My driving lights can easily be aimed up/down/L/R as required for conditions.. I just fixed one tonight that again, was looking for owls...

I can't wait until I get the $$ together for JJ's lights... oh how the waiting is killing me.

Yep same w/ mine. Mine was prewired so i only needed to get the fogs and switch. Went straight to 8K HIDS fogs.

Now ya got me wondering about mine. will have to look when its not so nasty out!!

Cthulhu · Jan 18, 2012

SLT8, that's some nasty glare you got there. You thinking about fixing those HIDs properly with projectors?

I've thought about doing HIDs pre Projector, but I have been blinded by too many drivers running HIDs in Hallogen reflectors. I cannot bring myself to cause people to be blinded whilst coming towards me... the law of self preservation I guess.

I changed mine too hid's I get more ''brights'' flickered at me when they are on.......which brings me too this......

Which/where is the adjustment sreww for the fogs?? :birgits_tiredcoffee

icywhite · Jan 22, 2012

If you look there is a little star screw on the top if you look at the houseing you will see a little u shape cut out where it is

TheSatinPumpkin · Jan 22, 2012

That's an old pic just for reference. Had the heads adjusted down quite a few years ago and have not been flashed since. I will end up getting some from The Retro Shop soon enough.
