Default Cheap stock fog installation on ARB bumper

Yeah yeah - I know. I'm expecting to get flamed for cheaping out on the lights after getting a nice bumper.

Anyway, two 3" ABS couplers (house plumbing), 2 7/16 bolts and washers, a hot knife and some silicone later, I have my fogs from my old stock bumper mounted up.

I know someone else had done this with a PVC cap, but since you had to cut a big hole in the back anyway, I decided to use the coupler. The stock fogs aren't any more protected from the elements. Also, the caps that I found seemed to be too short. Anyway - I didn't take any pics of the hot knife taking out anything on the stock lamps that prevented it from sitting flush in the coupler. I had to notch the back of the coupler to get the connector to fit.

Anyhow, kind of a hack job but my stock fogs didn't go to waste.

I pondered doing something like that too. Then I found these, and they work great. Just an FYI incase you want to change them later down the road. This is an option for you...

Thanks - I was in a "spend as little as possible" mood but will certainly have other options if I want to change or if they end up getting smashed up because they stick out so far. Are these the correct wattage?

They are just the housings. IIRC, the factory bulb is a H10...so its really mount and plug in play so to speak.
