Monday I tackled a BoggsMobile project that was way overdue. The bus came with PIAA fog lights when we bought it seven years ago. As far as I know they were original and the driver's side lens was cracked when we bought it. It has had pieces missing from the lens for quite a while and the passenger side is cracked now too. Like I said, it was long overdue.
The PIAA lights work well and you can turn them on as white or yellow. They not only work well but they are also very expensive. I could replace the lenses but they are pricey too and the lights would still be over 20 years old.
I decided on the Rigid spot/flood combo LED lights and ordered them from Amazon.
I had to order a u shaped cradle for the light so I could mount it correctly.
The PIAA lights mounted with one bolt. I could have mounted the new light with one hole but the old hole was too high anyway. I figured I might as well drill two holes for each lights so the cradle could be mounted more securely.
The front bumper has a hinge on the bottom and it folds down so you have access behind it. I moved the windshield wiper tank to keep from drilling into it and to give me a little more room to work.
Here is the finished product.
It is very dark here so I turned the lights on about 10:00. This picture is just the headlights. You can see how dim the old Ford headlights are even when it is very dark.
