So, I set on the adventure of replacing my LED OEM fogs for the CJC BAJA Designs squadron fogs and it was the heck of a mission. I will post some pictures later but here are some observations.
1. Instructions are 90% there. Somethings you will have to figure out the best way it suits you with the tools you have.
In my case, I had to use a whole assortment of 8mm, 10mm, ratchet, wrenches, flexible adapters, shorty ratchet, etc.
The space is so limited and there are some impossible screws to reach.
2. Replacing the bezels with the supplied ones its a party of its own. 5-8mm screws very uncomfortable to remove. Getting the new bezel in to slide into the screws near impossible. Was easier for me to remove them all an slide the screws from the back unlike stated in the instructions.
3. The wiring harness routing was pretty simple although figuring out the wiring and pins in the connectors took some voltmeter testing.
Overall it took me probably 4 hours and Im pretty avid at this things with a good assortment of tools. Can’t imagine doing this with a basic tool set.
I will rate this a 6/10 on how much of a PITA the access to the screws is. But definitely doable and it looks great plus the light output is 300%.
Below are the PITA screws holding the bezels in place, 5 total, 2 on top, 2 bottom and 1 side. The bezel slides out forward and the screws stay in the bumper frame. When you try to slide the nee bezel in, the screws fall out. The best way is to remove the screws slide the bezel in and then slide the screws from the back… with midget hands.
