fog lights

[Jasonisgood87]

im planing on installing fog lights on my truck that did not come with any but i have only seen fog lights with a chrome trim housing around them, i rhino lined the bumpers and all around the bottom of my truck so as you can imagne i dont want a big gaudy chrome piece on my rhino lined bumper, can i just install the actual fog light without the trim piece or is it one whole thing?

thanks for the input but i knida want to keep it looking like factory-ish, im planing on getting a brush guard and safari basket to mount a bunch more lights later on tho.

on my 00 5.0, i plasti dipped (basically same as rhino lined) the bumper AND the chrome trim around the light.. so all the chrome is now black.. looks pretty good
so i would try painting yours as well!

this was a pre paint pic of my truck.. are you talking about the chrome there right around the fog light? because if so i just painted that black as well as my bumper so now its all black and you cant even tell that there is chrome under my paint

yes i am if i buy the assembly does the chrome trim have the mounting points or can i just mount them in the holes already there once i remove the caps

you cant see anything there and id like to keep it that way only being able to see the fogs and not any extra trim

i am not sure. Mine came with the fogs already in and then i just taped off the lens of the light and painted everything else. ill snap a pic tomorrow when its light it to show you.. but i would think it will look like you want it to because i think you just mount them in the holes in your bumper

I believe the chrome trim was an option, you could still get fogs without them. Just get the fog lamp assembly from Rock Auto, or where ever you want, and they should bolt up and work, unless you Ex did not have factory fogs, then you will have to do some wiring, but that is really easy. You may have to get some bolts and U-bolts from the hardware store to attach them to the bumper, but other then that it is really easy. I did it over the summer on my '96, different bumper, but same concept, and I am pretty sure same mounting procedure.
