3" in the front 2.5" in the rear. I wanted a flush look not tucked.

Na I only have white lights but switch backs would be pretty funny for turn signals
It would throw people off big time when you turned lol

I need new fog housings/lights. Currently running OEM with 3000k LED's, but they seem to be more for looks than actual light output.

Anyone have any suggestions? I like the yellow fog look. Was thinking maybe round LED pods?

Diode dynamics makes a ss3 pod that round . Would look good in a z71 valance. Spendy tho. I have jeep fog lights that are better but are 100% custom fitted. Having a popular generic 4” round fog light leaves tons of options

Yeah, I'm super cheap, and don't really want to dabble into 100% custom lol. I wasn't sure the size to even start my search, but now knowing it's 4" that will give me a starting point. Thanks boo! :happy160:

Google 4” round universal fog light . You’ll have hours of fun lol. They come is white and yellow leds (assuming you buy led style), or you can put yellow film on. There’s a lot out there that have brackets that can still be used in our valance , just need to drill new holes and make sure they’re even.

I'm tired of my multiple set of aftermarket fog lights either not mounting properly or when they are in just being all shaky. Ordered a set from the dealer and the lens wasn't even sealed all the way brand new in the box. So considering swapping them out totally for a dedicated LED lamp...just gotta find out that fits properly and doesn't look like a Autozone discount idle add-on.

Ok time for me to ditch my yucky water-filled OEM fogs. I was looking at doing the jeep fog lights but I'd like to do wide-angle fogs instead of driving lights and I would like the option of the interchangeable lens between clear and amber as well as having the option to switch the beam pattern. So I think the Diode Dynamics SS3s mentioned a few pages back are the best bet.

The question now is what style mounting bracket should I buy? I know I will have to mod them no matter what but I'd like to get something close.

Also, does anyone think it would be worth it to buy the kit for the 2007-2014 suburban fogs so it comes with the little trim piece? The only downside of this style is the mounting bracket is awful and pretty much useless for fitting on a NBS.

***edit: Never mind I realized the suburban kit won't work like I was thinking.***

I’d love to find a decent fog that will fit the NBS mount. This is most of the reason I was considering adapting a Z71 front valance to my Yukon, but I decided it’s way more work to adapt it than its worth. So I’m stuck with the rectangular fogs / mounts.. please share all your details. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631]

Hate to break your heart but I'm switching to the z71 valence like all the other cool kids. I've done a ton of measuring and actually have a few different size/style rectangular lights but I don't think anything will have the OEM+ look I'm going for. They just made the hole too weird of a size so everything has to be pointed sideways to look like it fits flush but then the beam pattern is way off. I was considering cutting the back off of the factory lights and putting a KC highlights flex, which is the smallest all in one sealed light I could find. But I think the pattern would look weird being shined through a chopped up reflector housing not to mention my reasoning for replacing the factory lights is that they constantly get full of water, which will only get worse if I cut the entire back off.

There are a few options to mount dual square pods in each fog light hold but I think the square lights look odd and kinda cheesy.
