What LED Foglights would u all use on a 2002 Ranger? I see they are very easy to get to..Do u all just change the bulb which is what I did on ly Highlander of is there a whole unit you get?

 

42

 

Im sorry I dont understand what 42 means

 

What does 42 mean ?

I do not think an LED Bulb in an Incandesant Housing, will work as well as the original Bulb.

Just my opinion... Buy a nice set of LED or Xenon Projector Fogs.

Shops like The Retrofit Source or Light Werkz, have Fog Projectors.

After I do the Projector Headlights I want to look into Fogs.

 

I wasnt aware they didnt have Halogen bulbs ..

 

Can the wiring accept Halogen bulbs since they are hotter than Incadescent?

 

they are halogens. they are h10 bulbs. you can swap in leds easily... factory H10 on left, LED on the right. Both in the factory housing.

 

I did write incandescent but I didn't give it a thought, could be Halogen, mine on my 2003 EDGE wasn't.

Get a replacement LED Bulb and see what it looks like, might work for you but my question is... will the reflector and LED Bulb perform as well as a brighter, higher wattage Halogen. (May need some new wiring) !


To answer this... I am not sure what type of bulbs you have, sorry... but if you have OEM Halogen, mine on my 2003 EDGE wasn't, then you should be all set for what ever type of bulb, the question is what wattage, how many amps will be drawn on the wire.


I would consider a new home brew harness to power the new fogs, maybe using the old wiring to active a relay and new power wire and ground.

 

Halogens have been on cars for may many years....I have installed LED Fog lights and Headlights on my Toyota Highlander and they are much brighter than Halogen is and are cooler, uses much less juice...So if halogens are in the car, the wiring is ok for LEDs..No relay needed...only HIDs need that

 

The only bulbs that should be old fashion incandescent are the tail, turn, and running. The headlights and fog lights are halogen. Like you said no need to re-wire. Just search Amazon for direct replacement leds for the H10's. The factory fog light housings on my 09 work great with my LED bulbs. I did use projector beam LED bulbs though.

 

OK so I musth be wrong on the bulb, funny always thought they were high wattage incandescent bulb... be it as it may the question is will Led Bulbs work in a Reflector not designed for them and or will the wiring for the Halogen Fog Light work for the LED Bulbs/Housings.


If I were to buy today, and after watching way too many U-Tube Videos, I would buy new LED Projector Fog Lights.
I come away from all of the Videos with the idea that when an LED Fog Light is designed from scratch and with enough Lumens and high enough temperature, it will out perform a Bulb type replacement setup in a housing that was designed for another type of bulb.

If money permits, I would look the LED Fog lights a The Retrofit Source or even Lightwerkz, !

Sorry for any confusion I learned something today too !

 

again....factory housings.

 

I know that LEDs come is different length.. In particular I know the fog light is an H10/9145 bulb............are these all the same length? If too long they obviously wont fit...I just ordered OQM assemblies from Rockauto..but need to get LED bulbs now.

 

OK guys I need some help.. I have ordered new OEM Fog Light Assemblies from Rockauto..I have also ordered new LED replacement bulbs so they are on their way.. So in my infinite wisdom I thought Id remove the otd ones.. I un plugged the light...no problem... Then I squirted some penetrating oil on the 6 rusted bolts , knowing they would be hard to get out.. Well only 1 came out like its suppose to the other were still attached to the plastic)imagine that) ears to screw the new ones on to.. Noe there are none...How thw hwll can I install the new assembly now?

 

can you get a pic? they should attach with plastic posts into the holes in the bumper and one time use nuts?

 

I havent taken a pic yet....The assemply has 3 ears sticking out to run the 3 bolts thru and attach to the corresponding e flimsy plastic ears that have nuts on them ..the ears on the car itself are now unusable..whis is a part of the car

 

I know this is an old thread, but can you please tell me what fog lights these are?
