Installed Carven Competitor and LED fog light bulbs

[Poolman Marshall]

Yesterday was install day. The muffler install took less than an hour and was fairly easy. As most of the posts and videos showed WD-40 is very helpful. The sound is pretty sweet although maybe to loud and should have got the Progressive, we'll see. I also installed Cougar Motor LED bulbs I got from Amazon for my fog lights. In my last truck I had a different brand of LED in my headlights and I miss that white light. They were only $45.00 and had good reviews. I drove around for 5 minutes after it got dark to check them out and wasn't disappointed. No flicker. I'm excited to go to work and see how I handle the sound through the day.

I have the progressive and I cannot imagine how loud the competitor must be, especially with cold starts.

This morning I was concerned about the excess noise. I had a full day of work and it started with some freeway driving. The sound was not bad. My mileage went up about 1 MPG at days end and that's with a lot of street driving. I think actually I drive more conservatively now trying to keep it mellow. The fog LED's are sweet but they make my headlights look unbright. So far I'm satisfied with my choices.

Brent I have a 2017. I looked at many choices and ended up with a highly reviewed inexpensive option. No flicker and simple install. I would love to change my headlights also but it's a bit blinding for vehicles in-front of me. I installed a different brand of LED bulbs and loved them on my previous truck. That truck didn't have fog lights and I almost added those but bought a my Ram instead. If you've ever been in-front or facing a vehicle with LED lights there a bit blinding for them although effective for you. I have dark tinted window and a loud exhaust and don't need to draw much more attention from the police. I like them and so far they like me, I want to keep it that way

So these LED fogs are plug and play? Part# 9006? Let us know, please.
