    I got my bumper from Iowa80 but oddly, they do not carry/sell fog lights that FIT into the FOG LIGHT cut-outs.

    The openings are about:

    7.5" across
    4.75" up/down

    Anyone have any ideas where to purchase these?
    There is a hole in the bottom of the bumper to support mount a light at least..

    You should be able to find some at a local auto store, or even Walmart should carry some that fit. Good luck.

    HEY! Come on guys....Why is it I always seem to pick a topic that is worthy of being bashed :biggrin_25523:

    Honestly, I wanted the bumper filled in to look better vs actual functionality. But I also think the KW is prewired for these. If I ever replace a bumper again, I would get one W/O the fog light cut outs.

    Of course buying a NEW bumper virtually assures smashing a deer on the way home- :biggrin_25513:

    PS. Dam those Perlux lights are $$

    After having mal-adjusted fog lights and headlights (not to mention high beams) hitting you for 35-40 years you'll have a bad attitude toward fog lights too...just wait.

    I pride myself on making sure my lights are AIMED accurately.
    I hate others that dont do that, In fact, I tilt my G-A-Y fog lights lower on purpose, so I dont blind people :biggrin_2558:

    I like fog lights in fog, dusty roads, or snow if they are high quality and aimed low (not in oncoming traffic), but for the most part they are just one more set of wires that corrode, relay to replace and one more thing to replace when you hit a deer. On my old truck I mounted the lights in the engine compartment so I had light to work on the truck at night. I like and have a good quality hard hat/headlamp but useing one in the summer just causes all the bugs to swarm in your face so the fog lights mounted in the engine compartment gives plenty of light, without the bugs buzzing directly in front of your face.

    Back on fog, dusty roads, or snowy conditions. One of the best things I do to help my eyes is to turn down the instrument panel and any other source of lights in the cab. That helps a lot. When the roads are just dark, then I use my hi-beam a lot.
