Hey everyone,

To the point.

Install was simple. I pulled roughly 7 screws, from the forward/lower part of the wheel well liner, to gain access to the factory fogs. Unplugged them, removed the 3 screws holding them in. (T15s)

Foxbeam mount replacements are 3D printed. A couple things. Where the light mounts on the bracket, it could be ⅛" lower and ⅛" moved back. Those are my only gripes.

(Side Note: don't gorilla the mount screws to the bracket. There is no way to adjust them but by hand once installed. Make them tight enough to sit still but loose enough to aim them. There is no tightening them down after install unless you have the hands of a Kebbler Elf)

I plugged the DD harness into the factory harness then into the light, polarity sensitive so test fire once it's plugged in before completing install.

I chose yellow. I love yellow fog lights. I have 2 yellow spot lights under the truck as well. They will probably become ditch lights.


Here are some pics. Feel free to ask any questions.

By the way, Foxbeam has mounts for those of you with the rectangle fogs in the bumpers of the newer trucks.

I was debating these lights. It's unfortunate they are out of stock. What is your opinion on these fog vs your lights mounted under the bumper? I love the look of that setup. What are the details of that setup?

The lower lights are auxbeam spot lights. They throw entirely too much scatter when pointed down the road.

The diode dynamics fogs have a beam "cutoff" to significantly reduce light scatter. I have not driven with the new fogs at night, yet. My current plans for the lower auxbeam lights is to turn them into turning lights that illuminate when my signal is on, I just want them to stay on like curb lights.

When I'm pulling someone out of a ditch this winter, with my hazards on, it will also provide that extra light I need.

Here are some pics when I was deciding on where to put them.

I do love the way they look though. Not gonna lie.

Here is my review on them.
How'd you get yours so "centered"?
Mine fell into place higher than I wanted. They get hung up on the trim.

I was also concerned about scatter. I was considering the auxbeam flood 3". Hoping that won't have as much vertical scatter. They do look great under the bumper for sure.

I switch side with the light mounts. Also each foxbeam mounts has different mounting spots. Mine lined up in the center of the home nicely. Mine looked the same, so i swaped sides and they fit up.

Here is the link for those lower lights.

Again, they are advertised as "Fogs" but are not.
