Default 98-00 owners need you to bust out the measuring tape

as title states, would any of you 98-00 owners mind measuring the length and width of your foglights? both pieces separately if you dont mind. also what kind of bulbs do they use? any close up pics or info on how theyre mounted would be useful as well.

thanks in advance,

Rounds would look cool, just not with the look im going for, the stock bumper just begs for fogs....

there are 2 pieces, the outer (smaller) pieces are NOT lit, though you could drill a hole in and mount a bulb holder. the smaller piece also has a screw in it, which bolts to a bracket in the bumper. the smaller piece helps hold the larger actual foglight into the bumper, its held on by these plug-like clips to the bumper.

98-00 fogs use 9006 bulbs

i'll see if i can get you some measurements buddy.

13 inches across the top with side as well as 13 for across the lower. It is the same as it has the same angle on each left and right edge with the whole fog and side .
7 1/2 across the top of the fog and almost 8 on the bottom width only .

I think you will end up ,having too many lights unless you remove and fill in the bumper lights.

agreed, thats why the turn signal and corner marking light are getting deleted and the parking lights will double as turn signals.... I might as well post this pic I mocked up real quick.



actual fogs should be alittle bit smaller but still fit nicely according to sks measurements, now i just have to source a nice set somewhere.
