No, sorry. It rained pretty much all weekend, and the weather doesn't look any better the next few days. I only had time to replace the underbody leds. I'll get it done, though.

You shouldn't be running any of these led fog lights on a daily basis... they will just blind oncoming traffic... install looks good though. I think a double row would look better in the valance though to match the fogs.

I don't run them all the time, only in conjunction with my high beams. And I originally wanted to do a double row, but I didn't want it to look crammed in there.

I have no intention to run them on the main roads, but I live in the middle of no where. Its not uncommon for me to make the last 10 minutes of my drive home at night in pitch black and not pass another single car, just herds of deer and other animals.

My original fogs are gone so I wanted something like this (or the light bar) to get some extra light out on the road so I can see better out in the sticks where I live.

How did you wire up the fogs? did you use a relay and harness or just buy connectors that work with the existing fog light wires and then just plug them in? Are they hooked up to fog light button on the interior?

I got an 880 adapter, and used it to plug into the stock fog outlet. I used that plug as the trigger for a relay. I pulled positive power from the fuse block terminal through an inline 20a fuse, and negative from the stock ground bolt on the bumper next to the drivers side fog. Then I connected all the lights in series, soldered everything up, wrapped everything in black tubing and electrical tape, and ran it next to all the factory wiring up in the bumper.

I'll try to grab some pictures from underneath when I can.

EDIT: as far as turning them on, because the trigger for the relay is the stock wiring, the fog light button does it. But I've also done the HI-6 mod, so my high beams turn them on as well. And with the valence light, it's actually a HI-7 now, I suppose.

Nice. That's a clever way to wire everything up. I've been thinking about 7" rounded LED pods to replace the stock fogs that would hug the underside of the bumper and the curve. I have my front valence removed to fit my tow hooks so my fogs hang down slightly awkwardly. I would like to do the LED fog conversion, but I'd be concerned about other drivers. I guess I could use narrow spot led pods and angle them down...
