Fog or driving light mounting ideas

I'm replacing the non street legal LED lights on my truck with some PIAA fog lights. Want to keep them low in the front of my K15 with 4" lift. My current lights are mounted to the bottom of the frame horns, but I'm looking suggestions/pictures of how you've mounted yours.

Thanks, Rick

Re: Fog or driving light mounting ideas

i always wanted to do a 81-82 front bumper with the turn signal holes and put them inside there place .

and THANK YOU for being the nice guy and going to the correct style light for driving/fog use over the offroad use only super bright led stuff .

the led is nice but people dont realize or give a crap how it effects other drivers they blind with them .

Yea, it wasn't obvious (at least to me) when I got these that they were for off-road use only. Read it on the box once I had them in hand. I mounted them but never use them even though there have been occasions that I would have. I don't appreciate being blinded any more than the next guy. Time for something that I actually can use.

When you replace the off road lights, repurpose them in the back as additional back up lights. Added these to each of my father in laws F250s. Best mod ever.

Good suggestion, and you are right. I have a 3rd one back there already and it is 10x more light than the reverse lamps.
