Well to start the guide, you will need to remove the foglight brackets. You will need a 10mm socket (because the corresponding SAE sockets were rounding off the bolt head) and about a 10" Extension to reach the two bolts that holds the brackets. Watch out, there are washers on the bolts, and there are metal clips for each bolt. Then you want to remove the wiring harness (I removed it because it was cold outside so I brought everything in to work on it), if you want to.
There are the metal clips still intact.
Camera didn't want to focus on the connector cause it liked the driveway better. There is a clip on the connector that must be pushed down to be removed. But it is the connector that goes to the truck.
The harness has already been removed as seen in the picture.
So the foglight mounting bracket on the foglight itself needs to be rotated so that the bolt is facing the back of the foglight. The lens will need to be rotated because it will be on the bottom of the foglight, which is really simple to do. Just remove the two screws and prevent the glass lens from falling out.
This shows one of the side black screws on the side and the mounting bracket rotated to the back.
So I used a longer bolt then the one that came with the foglights. Because an extra nut and a few washers is used to move the foglight forwards otherwise there will be a gap between the foglight and the bumper.
This shows the nut and a large washer.
Then on the other side of the bracket make sure the bolt is at the top and the center from side to side of the square hole. Then to secure it, put on a large washer, locking washer, and a nut. Make sure it is tight because you don't want it to move. Make sure to have the wire out of one of the other holes. I chose the back hole but I may move it so that it is coming out of the top hole. Position the foglights so that it points as far down as possible.
You don't have to put the foglight back on the truck. But this picture shows the wire coming out the back hole and also secured with the necessary hardware.
I chose to remove the old plug and put in my own connectors. I think you may be able to remove the plug that is coming from your old foglights and use it on your new ones. Otherwise you will need to cut off the end that goes to the foglight on the wiring harness and put in some new connectors. Just don't cut off the end that has a red gasket. The other side should have a yellow gasket. Now I don't know if Halogen bulbs are polarized, I am assuming it doesn't matter. But just in case, I installed the connector in such a way that I can reverse them if it doesn't work without having to cut off the connector and putting in another one.
Here is with the new connectors.
Finally you can install the foglights back onto the truck if you haven't done so already and plug the foglights back in. Now test the foglights and enjoy. More pictures to come with the foglights in action.
