Fog lights

[CJ0920]

I've had to replace my fog lights already and the set that's on mine are already cracked and fogging over again. Was looking into other options and was wondering if anyone had looked into these Morimoto LED ones:
Morimoto XB LED Fog lights

I did some research, for different part numbers and seems like our fogs are the same part number for the ford ranger, which leads me to think these should fit without any issues. Haven't tried it yet, but wanted to pass this along to see what your thoughts are..

I'd be curious as well. Both of mine look like they got hit with a rock.

Those are only 90 mm they will look small inside the ~115 mm opening. I almost purchased those but will probably just swap in some spyder projector replacement headlights. You can buy 3M clean light covers to protect the fogs (and heads) then swap in some XML2 LED fogs in any multitude of color from yellow to ricer blue.

The XML2s are pretty damn impressive and remember to aim your lights once installed.

they will NOT fit. i actually have a set of those morimotos on my subaru.

i still have to see if i can fit the f150 fogs into my expedition. Those seem to be a closer size match

as long as theyre 9145 they should fit...

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize the difference in size. I presume they should still mount to the bracket, just be about .5" gap around them. I think the fogs are cracked due to the amount of heat in the housing with the fogs always on, so I'm not sure if those laminex light covers will actually help.

Those XML2 LEDs are EXPENSIVE! I would rather just run HIDs in them like I've done before for cheaper, however I will look into them more.

You mentioned the spyder headlights...are you talking about these:
Spyder® 444-FE07-LTDRL-BK - Ford Expedition 2007-2014 Black Projector Headlights with Light Tube DRL

I want to do a projector retrofit and want to do this:
2009-2014 F150 HID Xenon LED C-Style Switchback Bar Headlights F150CSTYLESB

But for the money, I may purchase those sypder lights for a temp replacement while doing the projector retrofit.

Seems like the F150s have a bunch more options than we do...

100 bucks shipped doesn't seem bad to me?

jw speaker also has a projector version for the jeeps, the jw speaker 6145.

 

[CJ0920]

You gonna try these!?

 

[rayt]

You gonna try these!?

i have a set of jwspeaker 6150 i'll be using with my ironbull bumper for my expedition. whenever i get it installed.

 

[eddiemoney]

Did anyone ever try something, i need to get mine replaced as well. I can get some basic ones from ebay, but would love an aftermarket LED variant.

 

[montecarlo31]

I haven't, the headlights need the biggest help, I would start there and just throw some cheapies in until you can get the headlights done that will make the biggest difference if you are going to stick with the stock light size and location.

The Morimotos can more then likely be retrofitted on, great price for them too. I'm currently using projector retrofitted hids inside the factory housings for my fogs. So no need for me to upgrade to leds hah. that and i'm changing my bumper soon.

back to confirm, but the upcoming morimotos will fit the expedition housing. If you can get them to sell you a set of passenger side fogs. For some oadd reason the expedition was designed to using f150 fogs, but... they came with a special assembly that used only the passenger side f150 fogs. If you can get morimoto to sell you a passenger side set. You have a perfect fit.

 

[CJ0920]

The Retrofit Source has some good close out deals if anyone is interested. I scooped up a set of their XB LED Fogs for $70 (Type T). The type T are slanted and will not properly fit without customization. I will be using these on another car...

What exactly did you try? They now have a set for the F150...

you need a pair of passenger side f150 fogs. You could see if retrofit source would sell you a pair.
I have the morimotos on my subaru forester, getting ready to retrofit a set of subaru morimotors into my dodge durango as well.

Out of curiosity, i bought a set of f150 OEM replacement fog assemblies to confirm fitment.

 

[CJ0920]

Do you have any pics? How different is the driver f150 fog? What is different about it? I presume the mounting plastic screws are not in the same place? Also what model year F150 fogs did you purchases?

I actually received an email from TRS today stating there is not enough market to make fogs for our Expeditions. And their Type T fogs (which I have) are marked LH/RH, and are made specific for each side, and can not be swapped. The F150's I don't believe would have that issue.
