Default New Morimoto XB LED fog lights

Can't wait to install these tomorrow. my old oem fogs got burned out and condensation inside of em, and took advantage of Raptor Retro's sale he was having. They look very well made and quite an upgrade compared to stock halogen ones just by looking at them.
I will post pics tomorrow of the install and some night shots

I'll probably have to add this to the list of mods to get done, this mod actually feels cheap compared to the rest lol

And I hope these are built well enough to keep condensation out

I removed the whole fog lamp housing (only held by 3 screws) for easier installation. I am reusing oem springs and screws I had to modify the connectors that came with the new fogs, since the alignment tab inside the connector doesn't match up with the factory one.

Can you explain this in a bit more detail? Mine are being delivered today and will install tonight. I've seen some pictures where it looks like it's just bare wires and you have to put the connector on yourself? What's the deal?

maybe its just my luck and they sent me a wrong alignment plug but, on my connectors, there is a little alignment tab on the inside that I had to cut off because it wouldn't allow me to connect it to my fog light wiring plug. connector that comes from the truck has 2 female alignment holes which obviously do not match with just 1 alignment tab on the plug that i received. I called theretrofitsource and they said cutting the alignment tab is no big deal.

Here's a sample pic of what I'm talking about

Yes, I love me some 'moto gear... Unfortunately I'm on nearly a first-name basis with some of the guys at TRS! They lighten my wallet for me!

I'm guessing you're talking about the 91XX connectors? They're supposed to be plug and play...
