The title says most of it.. Looking for good quality ones that you guys love. I would like to have the option of some added visibility when I need it. I've tried a bunch of different bulbs that claimed to be the brightest on the market but I could never tell the difference when I turned them on. For stock base Yukon fog light housings.

Sub'd. I'd like to know this as well. I'm tossing around the idea of placing a couple 6" LED bars in place of the factory fogs, but I like a clean OEM look...

I feel the exact same way. I've thought about LED bars too but I don't feel like trying to find the right mounting brackets and stuff.

It's a 4" housing so search for whatever floats your boat.. all the big LED light companies make 4" round lights that can be easily fabbed to fit the stock bracket and stuck in the hole.. being that you have a Z71... you want bright and good quality expect to spend money..

yeah I Don't have a Z71.. Just a regular Yukon. Is there a custom fit LED bar type of light for a Yukon that will fit in the stock place?

So what i did was used a Ebay 6in cree LED light bar, My factory fog light housing was already busted missing the lens. I popped out the little bulb shield inside of it and used a longer bolt on the LED mount and mounted it to where the bulb would hook up to the back side of fog light housing. pretty simple, clean look and you can just splice LED lights into factory fog light wiring and don't have to worry about running any wires.

Thank you for posting this. Mine was missing the fog light covers when I bought it and I'd rather replace the whole light with something decent since the factory fogs aren't very bright anyway.

Once it gets dark tonight I'll go take pictures of how bright the LED fog lights are.

I put those same lights under the bumper for reverse lights, they work pretty good. Not sure how much the do for fog lights, but they are probably better than the stock housings

So did you remove the old fog lights entirely? And how did you attach the lights? Looks like it's just bolted through the old housing?

Yeah, because the plastic was already gone on front and so I just took out the little chrome light guard reflector whatever the hell it is, and slid the light bar into factor housing. Worked out great.

Wow I guess I never got a notification for this thread when you posted the pictures. Using the stock fog lights to mount LED bars gave me a great idea (I think)...

How are the lights holding up. Do you have any pictures to see what the beam looks against a wall. Thinking of doing this to my Tahoe. Thanks
