New LED fog lights, OEM look.

Hello all,

Wanted to install new LED fog lights on my 70' C10, but wanted to keep the stock look. If you are looking to do the same, here is what I came up with.... Took a 72' bumper, removed all existing hardware. Fabbed up some brackets and used the upper existing holes with some spacers to remount new lens. The LEDs can either run amber for cruising or bright white, to help out on the way home at night. I also made a lower front valance ( All metal ), to lower the appearance. Thanks for checking it out.

Looks sharp, you can supply artificial light to a blackout area with those on white!

So you have a stock clear plastic lens in front of an LED lamp?
Too cool.

Awesome idea!! I like the valance also. How did you make it, and how does it attach?

Great idea and execution. I have trouble seeing at night due to new cars and their bright shimmering headlights, so this would help out immensely. Nice job on the valance too.

Yes, clear OEM lens ( Ebay ). I had to shave them down a touch.

Thank you, used flat stock steel. Made a jig out of wood to mimic the curves around the plate bump out. Welded directly to the bumper.
