Diesel bumper foglights options....

[BOTTLEDZ28]

Can someone measure the openings in the their diesel bumper so I can start looking for fog/driving lights for the bumper once I get it.
I think the OEM fog lights look to small in the openings. I was thinking maybe the sealed beams from the 3rd gen camaros.

88-89 headlights are the perfect size and proportions for the openings. They are H4701 / H4703 variants and LMC makes decent cut reflector lenses for them as well.

Lots of people in my neck of the woods put Hella dual bulb work lamps in those openings.

I have Hella 550F's in mine, yes they are wider than the openings but only the glass surround is covered, no actual beam is hindered and height wise they are perfect. Just need brackets

88GMCtruck, those lights look perfect in those openings. What did you do for pigtails on the back of the bulbs?

Mine are all custom. They are eurolight housings with h7 bulbs and a custom harness. Used the 88-89 headlight adjusters modified to fit in the back of the bumper.

Did someone say they needed brackets? I just got my pair of these. Great fit, great quality.

I used an old set of NOS GM Foglights from the late 80's that I found on CL. They fit pretty well, just hope they don't create too much heat. They're halogens. (Part # on the box is 999451. Exactly like this, except mine was never used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/General-Mot...rg=20140107083349&rk=4&rkt=10&sd=321237411849 )

How does that OEM bracket actually hold the light in place? Does the bracket allow the use of aftermarket lights?

It has 2 sections of plastic up top that fit into the bend in the bumper, so that locks the top in place, and then the bottom bolts on using one of the valence mounting bolts.

The bucket itself is exactly like you see it in those ebay pics, with no mounting holes. I drilled my own for the lights, so basically you just need to find a light that will fit that has an attached bolt or something for mounting. You can drill the bucket, put the bolt through, and you're good to go. It probably took me 10 minutes, and they're really solid. Not going anywhere.

Yours came out real nice, thanks for posting the pic. Ever since I put on the bumper back in '08 I've been debating whether or not to do the lights. I've picked up some of those brackets and bought the GM fog lights too, more than anything just so I can have the switch as I believe it's an OEM-style switch. If nothing else at least I didn't have to play guessing games with the size of lamps.
