sooo just finished this mod with the new blazers (packaged one fog light behind another (not sidebyside)).

wondering...has anyone painted the lens? i really think the yellow-purple tint thing looks gross.

MR_LUV

You attach them to the Bottom of the Lower Grille opening as Shown in the Above pics.
I found it easier to drop the Front Bumper and get behind and drill the
holes. That way you can Position and Mark the holes before you mount them.

Hope this helps.

Really clean install, MR LUV. Btw, do your OEM fogs have yellow overlays over them?

MR_LUV

Yes, they are Rock Blockers. Yellow vinyl overlays.

Dremel + that plastic = MESS!

is the wiring hard or is it strait forward?

and can u use the switch it comes with or do u need the other rocker switch?

and does anybody know which ones from Radioshack will fit the slot?

Thanks

Ok, so i finally finished installing the lights
just to find out that one is defective

great...

now ima gonna have to buy a new set, change that one out
and return the old one

lol

got some work to do tomorrow before i go to the airport
XD

You can use the switch that they include, but it'll require some drilling into the car (yikes) to get the switch attached somewhere. It's pretty freakin bright and distracting at night, btw. I'd recommend getting one off Oznium.com's Scion section or trying to track down the Gardner & Bender switch mentioned in this thread online or something. They stopped selling them at Lowe's.

It sucks to hear that one of your lights were defective. One of mine seems a little dimmer and differently colored (??). Will probably swap out the bulbs sometime for better ones.

EAmon

yeah
so my dad went this morning to get the second set
we swapped it out and it works
aimed it and everything

they look really good

ill put some pics up in a bit

EAmon

Here are some pics of my lights

Ok so i couldn't find the rocker switch everybody else used so i went to Kragen and found one

it fits but is sorta at an angle
but it works and look good
i comes w/ different color light covers, and different tabs for the side piece

here are some pics if anyone want to get one






it cost me about $8 for the switch

That's not bad. I'm thinking of getting an LED one. Will help to remind me that I'm draining my battery after I stop the car.

hasanyone istalled these lights w/o having to drill
i really love the look but im not too sure if i want to drill into the bumper yet..

They're also a tight fit and will scrape the paint above and below.

I'm doin this tomorrow, just the mounting, gonna have a pro do the wiring. He thinks he can use the original mid bumper fog lamp setup to adapt to these fog lamps, that way he doesn't have to ____ with the wiring.

Anyway, question: did you have any problems with that plastic adjuster piece on the bottom of the light when mounting in on the bumper? To me, it looked like it wouldn't fit in such a tight spot.

EAmon

^ yeah i did a lil bit
to actually mount then u have do take out the light and hold the screw in place
it was a pita to do but its the only way
oh and when u first take off teh nut u have to hold teh screw or else teh whole thing moves and the nut just stays there
(took me a while to figure that one out)

TheSaint77

Finally, got 'em mounted!






Wiring gettin done on Tues!
