I'm looking to replace my bumper "fog lights" with real aftermarket fog lights. I know there is information scattered throughout the forum and Moncha's how-to but it would be helpful if this information was placed into a single thread. I really want to hear what you think of your lights and if your would buy them again.

Please post the following information regarding your aftermarket fog lights:

Brand/model:
Type (halogen, LED, Projector):
Size (direct fit, small, big):
Install difficulty 1-5 (not including wiring):
Light output 1-5 (headlights highbeam is 5):
Purchase again (Y/N, why?):
Approx. price:

I'll also update the thread with examples I can find on the forum. If I post your light setup and you want me to add/change anything, please let me know.

ive got these as well only the lens in blue tint from auto zone. same install as the directions on the forums data base. and I would install them again. cheap, easy to install, and when driving they can be used without headlights.

the only thing is I would insert LED or better bulbs than the ones it comes with.

Pilot Brand Fog Lights $19.99 At Autozone Model # 2088. You Can Get Them In Clear Or Blue Lenses. As Another Member Previously Stated Just Change The # H3 Bulb. I Put A 100 Watt Instead Of 55 Watt 8000K Which Are Very Bright White In Color ! It Is Hard To Believe The Great Quality Of These Fog Lights For $20.http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/thumbs/VX_Current.jpg (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=24107)

Thanks guys!!! I updated the forum with the additional info provided on the pilot lights.

I have converted Hella Micro DE's to HID's. In my opinion they are the nicest and best light producing option avaliable in the small stock hole of our VX's. They are a little more exspensive, but you get what you pay for.

This is how I and many other people have installed these:
