Lights in holes in front bumper?
Hi,
I have an 88 runner and my front bumper has holes in it for factory fog light. I was wondering if anybody found some lights that fit in those holes? Also are Hella 500 55w as bright as KC 100w lights. They are both around the same price.
Thanks

does anybody else have these holes in their front bumper? Their are in between the turn signals and in the indent for the front liscense plate. I got some rectangle $15 lights from Wal-mart and they are pretty close. I thought about cutting slits in the corners of the bumper and just folding the holes out. To make them bigger. I just don't want to ruin my bumper. They look sweet in there though. I want to make it look factory but that might be hard.
Please help

Those rectangular holes in the bumper where actually for better engine cooling I think all of the 86 - 88 trucks and runners I've seen had them. I did'nt bother trying to find something to fit there I just mounted mine on my 87 to the top of the bumper in place of the bumper top bolts. They looked good there and were easy to aim properly also.
Second question a 100W lamp is brighter then a 55W lamp because it is more powerful. (to see this take a table lamp [usually 60W] and change it to a 100W bulb.) That being said in automotive applications the reflector and lens efficiency also play a part. A poorly designed lens/reflector will scatter the light so even a more powerful lamp [100W+]will seem dim, conversly a well designed lens/reflector will focus the light as a result you can get more "apparent" light from a less powerful lamp.

Well you might not care if there aimed properly but oncoming traffic does! Please adjust them so your not blinding other people coming towards you...Don't want some big guy turning around and following you to beat the crap out of you for blinding him...Road rage is getting worse...Don't want to eg it on more by poorly aimed lights...I drive for my job and poorly aimed light are the worst...Just my advice...Take it or leave it...

Bump!
Please aim your lights correctly! If you blind someone with your lights they could run into you or someone/thing else and be seriously injured or worse..
Guess who the courts would find responsible?

I've got them aimed properly on the rear bumper now. I just have them as reverse lights, or lighting the rear. They work pretty nice. I flipped them on going down the highway real quick and they're like headlights in the rear.(I do not drive with them on)
