XB Fogs installed

I ordered Morimoto XB Fogs, and Osram Xenarc D2S bulbs. (Haven't installed bulbs yet)

I bought the bulbs and fogs from https://www.facebook.com/Bullseyeretros/

My two complaints are there should have been some kind of retainer for the extra long harness.

And the adjustment mounting screw is not tapered, so it makes it difficult to get threaded initially into the plastic insert

I will say that my Nikon DSLR makes it appear that there is more light (long exposure) than compared to what I actually see in person.

I think overall I like them for the color match, and they do provide a good spread.

However in my case ive got quad projector retrofit, I dont really "need" the extra output the fogs give me over factory.

Very nice! Thanks for posting up the comparison photos.

I'm happy with mine, I can't say I really rely on the fogs much, but think they are way better than OEM should I need them. I may try doing a amber film overlay.

I noticed after playing with the aim on the XB Fogs that the factory ones were probably aimed at little low (conservative)
Which is pretty typical for factory lighting, but I never played with them prior to replacing

Tonight is the first night I really drove anywhere with them on. I like them. Really like the added foreground width.

Dude, your truck looks insane. Lol. I like the XB’s but they pale in comparison to my HID’s. Would be nice if they were a bit brighter.
