OEM Foglight Install

[c3c]

As I promised in the post I will cover how I install my OEM foglights in my 2006 non-foglight LR3.

Before I do, if you are not mechnically saavy, please do not attempt! My own opinion of this project is if I had to do it all over again..... I probably would have a body shop cut the holes, it would have been less grief! Just my take.


I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS BEYOND THIS POINT!.

First step is to remove the bumper...which I used the links below to do so.

Once the bumper is removed mark your hole bounderaries from inside the bumper by making a cross with your dremmel. This will come in handy later in the project.



Now that the bounderaries are done, use the inside of the outer covers to mark the foglight holes on the bumper with a permenant marker.

After, you have the circle marked you can begin cuting the sections out. Until the hole is completely cleared.....

This is the most important and the hardest step of the project!

hint...the hole that you cut will be slightly smaller than what you need it to be. Take the plastic outer ring and mark the **** with your marker. This is where you are going to need to leave some bumper for them to catch.

I did not do this and the inside of my covers do not snap completely in. I had to use velcro to correct this error. Just take your time and keep cutting until the covers fit in the hole.

When you complete the cutting of the hole, seat the foglights in the hole and the covers for placement.....

If I remember correctly the L on the lamps was for the Driver's side and the R is for the passenger side.






The hard part is done...now just fasten the lamps down and install the wire harness. The harness will install on on the R side of the truck below the headlight placement.

Excellent write up! Thanks for sharing - good for everyone without the fogs that don't want to argue with a dealer!

I did not cover the changing of the switch because it is pretty straight forward. just yank the bottom of the dash where the switch is located and it will give away. Then replace the old switch with the new one. You'll need you torx screw driver for this.... If everything worked out your finished product should look something like this!

Thanks again to Davez26...I could not have done it without him!

Awesome! Thanks for the write-up. Two questions:

What was the approximate cost?

Could you clarify the part about swapping out the switch? I think one of your sentences was missing a word or two

Nice DIY, and kudo's for including the term "****" in a technical writeup.
