I have black and clear tails in my truck! no red reflector. never been stopped yet.

Tommorow I'll have to go find a good glue/plastic bonder at Napa or something.

Would you guys seriously not recomend the projectors as replacements?

I used proper aftermarket projectors in my Cadillac Catera and they really weren't that great. Since these are just fogs, and they look cool, they can't be much worse than a stock 55w fog light.

They still take a 55W H3 I belive, unless you go to a 100w bulb and risk your wires.

I'm thinking of getting the projectors and putting some Nokya H3's The hyper yellow ones, they claim draw 55 w but put out 70w. Might be a little brighter? but same wattage

ive heard of a lot of people melting wires on hondas with nokayas .... not sure bout rangers though.

The DOT doesn't not approve or certify anything. A DOT stamp or engraving on the product means absolutely nothing. Any retailer or product manufacturer that tells you that is lying to your face.

What does the ranger look like without a valence? It pisses me off I keep hiting it and scratching and chipping paint off the valence, with my jeep I used to just drive up snow banks in parking lots and park on top or sideways. When I try to do this with my truck it just "SSKKKKKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRR GGGRRRIIINNNDDDD"

Blackonblackfx4 02-23-2009 12:59 PM

I picked up some "Quick JB weld" and put 3 layers on it and have heat blowing on it. So i hope it holds up.

Im planning on ordering these 9145 Nokya Hyper yellow hallogen fogs. Are they much brighter than stock? can anyone post some pictures?

Here ya go. I have Precision Optics 9005 80w, but going down to 55 again. I LOVE them. Those Nokyas will be the same. But hey, spend $26 CDN shipped and buy them here www.supremepowerparts.com


The yellow bulbs make a huge difference.

You can see just how yellow they are in this pic

I got the Nokya's for $28 canadian, shipped. hopefully there good.

If the valance tabs are broken, you'll have to use an epoxy as mentioned to keep the replacement fogs in.
I had to do the same as well......until the valance was replaced. I recommend having another driver hit your front end to do enough damage to require the front end to get replaced and repainted. I went from having busted shakey fog lights and a rock chipped bumper, to a new front end. Highly recommended, especially when it's the others drivers insurance paying.

They should be very similar to mine. Did you get 55w 9006?

In my pics, mine are 80w 9005, but I have the 55w version on the way.I'm scared I'm gonna burn out my wiring.

Blackonblackfx4 02-24-2009 11:13 AM

I ordered the 9145 H10, Same as stock for the 2003 ranger anyways, A few more watts hopefully a bit brighter. from 42 to the nokya's claim they draw 45w and put out 55w

crazymikey 02-24-2009 02:14 PM

ah you should be good then. I want pics when they're installed!

Blackonblackfx4 02-24-2009 05:03 PM

Yeah I'll be sure to post some with my totally new front, New 5000k headlight and 2500k fog bulbs, and all LED's up front in the black headlights.

Downey 02-24-2009 05:14 PM
