Fog light thought

[Krahe3]

Still don't have my truck, but was thinking options for fog lighting. My choice is two Amber Rigids mounted in the lower grille. I was also wondering if anyone could tell me how the fogs mount in a 2006ish F250. Just from my uncalibrated eye the opening in the F250 bumper is close to that in the Raptor and I could possibly get some F250 fogs and mount them on the Raptor. I just don't have the two vehicles side by side to brainstorm. Once the truck comes in it will be a trip to the junkyard to check one out.

Any thoughts?

If I were to keep the stock front bumper I was going to remove the "bumper-ettes" on each side and use 6" amber Rigid's.

I measured the fog lights on a 05 at work. The lenses are roughly 3 1/2 by 3 1/5 but the lens and housing gets larger as they go back. The brackets (plastic) span the hight of the bumper top to bottom where they mount. Its probably do-able in the Raptor lower grille but there will be some fab work done to make it work. There isn't much for options where the light bolts to the plastic bracket, just two spots that also act as the aim adjustment. By the way it looks, the lights come with the bracket when you buy them. Unless I got some SD fog lights for free, I think I would opt for the Rigids, it would be way less hassle.

Thanks for dimensions pirate, If it is too much a PITA like it sounds I will go with Rigids

I mounted a pair of Pilot PL-88W fog lights in the bumper cut-outs using mild steel "brackets." I put brackets in quotations, because all it takes is two pieces of straight steel. No bending required. I used 2 inch wide, 3/16 inch thick mild steel purchased from a home improvement type store. Drill a couple mounting holes and paint, and you're good to go.

I also mounted a pair of smaller fog lights, Blazer Crystal Rod units, in the lower grill. I use them for (rather bright) marker lights, but they work fairly well as the fog lights they're supposed to be.
