    fog lights and exhaust

    Alrighty two questions. One do the fog lights's little circular light below head lights come on with the head lights and mine are just burnt out or it there a switch I'm missing? Two, is there any aftermarket full exhaust systems out there or a good place to get a new stock one. Flex joint right under driver side seat snapped last night while being a little randy in a ditch. unfortunatly, resulted in a ticket on my way home. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Justin

    You just have to replace the bulb,isn't an mayor deal !
    There's no such of specific switch for the fog lights

    In regards of the exhaust there's no such of full exhaust system,but many mufflers to choose from depending on what kind of set up you looking.

    The stock muffler is just too way expensive,if not mistaken we talking 'bout $ 300.00 so is up to you if you wanna go that way.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Justin, like Gussie said, the "fog" lights should come on with the running lights. They really aren't that bright with stock bulbs, more like marker lights.

    Also agree that there is no full aftermarket exhaust system. A few owners have had some local shops bend up a system for them.

    Thanks guys, I went ahead and retrofitted new fog lights in from autozone so they are actually functional now, and as for the exhaust, I have a buddy at a local shop working on seeing if he can bend me something up. Thanks for the tips I post how it turns out.

    Some members have replaced the fogs with Hella Micro DEs - increases the output. I put some cheap 55W Halogens (Pilot brand, bought at PepBoys) in there - I posted a guide here:

    I also replaced the OEM fog lights for bigger & brighther bulbs which allows to drive without using the headlights at night in the city.
    I can tell they are 3x much brighther:two thumbs up for this mod

    When I had to replace my flex pipe I just picked up a generic short flex pipe with 2" opening on both ends
