Switching to color-matching amber fog lights...


The nice part about a great online community is that when a great product needs a little tweak - the vendors LISTEN!  We all tend to love https://fordraptorlights.com/  because they put out great products - the fog pocket lights match PERFECTLY to the OEM body style and looks like it should have come from the factory that way...

Here I've mounted the new lens on the left pic, and the original is on the right... hard to see in the daylight, but the new lens is brighter and matches the color of the OEM lights!
