    7" H4 PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS

    these should toss a good bit of light and I want a set of the round foglights to go where my turn signals used to be, down in the valence.

    Any suggestions on fog lights that will mount there easily, preferably with brackets already on them that I can bolt up to the old turn signal mounts or somewhere else in the valence opening?

    Sorry, i am not the kind of person who makes modifications and then shares with others how well it worked out...

    riiiiiiiight:rofl:

    The suggestion to use these was made by another member who is using them, but I did a brief search and can't figure out who that was.:hmmm:

    They look plastic, and for only $30 for the pair, I assume they are. But the bulbs are replaceable. So basically I am buying the housings and a pair of bulbs.

    I just ordered them yesterday, and will promptly report on their construction and function after I get them and install them.

    Are you the one that recommended them to me a couple weeks back?

    How much brighter will they be compared to the halogens?

    I checked the Ebay add, they are glass lens. They are the ones I plan on purchasing.
    "Lynhrt210" posted a query on the same type but w\ black reflectors last week. I understand those mostly for show - so say's the add.

    I've got these, and I love 'em. A great upgrade over sealed beam. They are glass, and surprisingly well made for the price.

    They do come with blue bulbs, which I hate, so I put white H4's in mine. Eventually they'll end up with HIDs.

    Here is one installed compared to the halogens in the other side. The halogen actually looks brighter in the daylight, but the new ones have a crisper look. I haven't seen them in the dark yet.
