Morimoto Fogs and LED marker lights added

I was able to get around to putting these in yesterday. Great fit, easy install and overall massive improvement over stock. These are a nice glass lens with Aluminum body, not all plastic like the OEM lights. If you put these in, I recommend pulling out the housings to make it easier. Probably 10 minutes a side.

I also put in some ANZO marker light LEDS. I have read some pretty poor reviews on the life of hte LEDs, but figured, I could make use of the housing and put my own LED's in if they do fail. Happy with the look overall, much better than the amber reflector.

I've currently got the rigid dot lights but was thinking about swapping to the Morimoto because the square peg in a round hole look has worn itself out for me. Any chance you can grab some full dark shots?

No problem. I stayed away from the Rigids for that very reason.

I'll try and get something tonight for you.

Awesome. I'd kinda like to see a 50/50 dark shot across a road or parking lot

But I know that's more work for you......

Here is a night shot. I'll see what I can do Patman, but I'm off on Vacay as of Thursday and will be 1500 miles from the truck. I'm sure I can do something when I get back though in early August.

These are taken from standing on the floor boards, when in the truck, you can't see the bottom of the cut-off, so I'm happy with the adjustment.

To compare, these are just the Factory HID on low-beam (they are adjusted a tad low)

Are all the XB fogs glass? I thought mine were plastic.

Either way they are a nice lamp and I enjoy mine equally. I can't seem to get the rich white/purple like glare on camera though, always turns out looking like 4300k.

Mine are glass for sure. Maybe they made a change for the different models?

Lighting is always tough to get a good pic of, but at least you get the idea.
