Yeah. And I'm not trying to spend a lot. So I'm trying to figure out what I should paint the fog lights.

THey have several b-stock H1 Mini. Standard is $20 (the old true b-stock), their "Super" (Tuned 5.0) and B-stock 6.0 (their old stock 6.0 since the new 7.0 came out) are $50. They did go up on their shrouds though (well, they used to have b-stock shrouds for $5 each, but that comes and goes).
Since they are for fogs though, you could get a set of H1 mini's from e-bay or or Amazon for $40 that come with shrouds.

There is a way to do it cheap, but may take a while to source all the parts.

Don't want to take forever. I'm thinking I will order the lights and the beige paint. Thinking I will leave reflectors chrome and see how it looks.

Should I go with 7 inch LED floodlights or 7 inch LED spotlights to replace the fatory fog lights? I am still running fatory halogens with no other LED lights. I do not plan on getting any other LED lights anytime soon. And yes I know the difference between floodlights and spotlights just looking for your guys apinion.

I was reading over on candlepower forum not to have the fog lights on unless needed. Otherwise your eyes are affected.
I always ride with mine on. Turned them off tonight and easily noted less eye strain.
Just something to think about.

Yep, the more foreground light the smaller your retinas get and that causes you to not be a sensitive to light, thus causing the light further out to seem weeker. That's another reason I retrofited my fogs with mh1s, a lot less foreground lighting

Default 01 Super Crew Easy led foglight conversion.

These are my headlights.


Computer design - black cut vinyl overlay template



Factory fog lamp



black matte vinyl & Plotter



Vinyl cut out before removing all inner hexi pieces.



Vinyl applied to fog lights(Factory). Completely covers the fog lamp area with the black during the day. Giving the look of dual lamps on each side during the day and night. This is with factory headlight bulbs and factory foglight bulbs.



Up close shot of the how the lamps look with the vinyl overlay.



These are the led bulbs I will be replacing the stock lamps with. My truck is in shop with a leaking intake($500fix) at the moment so havn't gotten my new led bulbs installed yet. Will update pics after.



This isnt my truck but a post of the led fogs by a customer on Amazon.<br/>Bulbs i got are here><br/>https://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Ext...lights+jdm+led
