I'm still in Minot, ND. We got 6+ inches of snow over the weekend. I plan on moving out to Missoula next spring hopefully after I save up some more money.

TYC is an OEM supplier to most major manufacturer, so you shouldn't have any trouble with them. Are the fogs themselves smoked, and if so, where did you get them? I have the JOM doublewide fogs on mine, but I put smoked headlight film on them, and as such I think they heat up to much, so I don't use them much. I do sorta miss the extra light output of them.

Thanks for the info on the TYC. The glass is clear, but the surround is black. Think factory joey mod lol. Here's a link to what I got:

Installed them today, and found out that they are euro style and don't fit right, so I had to modify the bumper and make some brackets. Took me about 3 hours, but I got it done. The result:

Don't worry, new rub strips all around are in the works, as are wheels and getting some low. Speaking of, this was waiting for me when I got home from work:

At first I didn't understand why they would be "euro" and cause fitment problems, but then I realised that they ship from Latvia, so that might explain it. How long did shipping from over there take?

Only took about a week, including the time it took while tied up in customs.
