I just dropped my sway bar and was able to install my axial fog lights👍. Now u need to do alil maneuvering to her to the screws but w a good light and little patience I was done in less than 30min.
Removes the bumper, completes the installation, then reinstalls the bumper ... all the while wearing jewelry and not destroying her nails . Meredith, you ROCK!
This video might a bit old but it saved me a LOT of time and frustration by simply following the directions here and removing the front bumper. New fog lights are installed and working great! Thanks Merideth! (BTW the torque for the front bumper isn't mentioned in the video but it should be 66.5 ft lb)
Well produced video and very helpful. However, it glosses over the fact that the beam adjustment screws on the new lights are on the opposite side from the stock lights. The hole in the bumper through which you can adjust the beam will be on the wrong side of the new lights, so you'll need to drill new holes in order to adjust the beam. Also, the plug on the supplied harness is opposite of the plug coming from the Jeep. Therefore, the plugs on the Jeep and the supplied harnesses need to be cut off and connected directly together (ie bare wire to bare wire). The video shows a brief attempt at pushing the two connectors together but then quickly cuts away, because the two are incompatible. I installed on a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport.
Roger that. I ended up using the old housing for each light. That way I was able to keep my adjustment hole lined up with the screw. Works great. I thought it was kinda weird that it wasn't brought up in the vid.
wow for a stock bumper you dont need to take off the bumper ..there a small plastic cover in the bumper take off and you have room to take both light 10-15 minutes max
I would recommend spraying the nut and bolt in advance of taking off the bumper.! Guarantee it will make it easier, taking them off and putting them back on.
So I'm holding these lights in my hand and I'm just now learning they're not compatible with my Rock Hard bumper. They match my new headlights though, so I really want to keep them. Looks like I'm gonna be fabricating something. Thanks for the definite answer to my question. I really appreciate this channel.
My 2007 had 8 bolts to remove bumper but otherwise the same. I have a skirrt between bumper and grill which Incouldnt remove, had to do it all from below, but fine. My kit came with extra harness for splicing into side daylights, but i removed this so fog lights just come on when parking or headlights on. Took a couple hrs and video way better than included instructions,
Any links on how to adjust fog light . Mine are aimed way too high and I was hoping to not have to remove the bumper to do so as that makes it more difficult to adjust and get it right the first time
You shouldn't have to remove your bumper to adjust your fog lights. I think they did it in this video to make it easier to show the camera. The adjustment screw Meredith mentions @5:32 will allow you to aim your fog lights up or down.
Mine is a 2007 and i just replaced stock lights with xprite true fog lights(yellow) and my hooks aren’t attached to the frame. White are driving lights not fog .
@@randyniswander9256 You are absolutely correct, White lights are for driving and true Fog lamps are Yellow, The Yellow color stands out better in the Snow than a White color light.
It is really essential to remove the bumper or can you get at the screws and replace the fog lights by removing the splash guard alone? I see it makes access to the fog lights easy, but.......
Due to their size, You won't be able to remove the fog lamps after you unscrew them from the bumper. You either have to remove the sway bar or the bumper to get them out.
@@0426dav On my 2010 Jeep there is a panel on top just behind the bumper and under the grill. I just removed that panel and the splash guard and was able to replace them without having to remove the bumper. The lights can fit thru the top.

David Z I can’t my skirt out either but 2016 JKU’s you can’t remove/install new fog light from below with bumper on. Not enough clearance
Thats what I found out as well.
With the right tools it's relatively easy but takes a bit of time.
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
Ryan doesn't have to worry about messing up his nails....
She still got it done though did she not?
2:35 bolts were already loose lol guess that’s how she keeps the nails intact…
Does anyone know where I can purchase these ? I can't find them anywhere
what do you do when the plastic clips break as you're trying to remove them?
If the clips on the wiring harness broke I would recommend to wire in another plug to make sure it's weather resistant.

Stock bumpers don't come off like that. The tow hooks are connected to the frame, not the bumper.
what year wrangler do you have. Mine is a 2015 and they came off exactly like the video shows

whats is that valve or pump behind the bumper, there's any chance to trace the wire of the fo light are okay but no power in wire >??
That's the braking vacuum pump
@@Not_Sure_2505 is that related to ABS sys just guessing for breaks?
It is responsible for generating vacuum for the vehicle's brake booster so that the power assisted braking will work.
@@Not_Sure_2505 I can see I guess the Jeep brake system is higher than the GM, thanks learn something today

What’s up using a stubby screwdriver?
I noticed that too.
The lights are no longer available...😞
Good job, next time get a real screwdriver. Have a Blessed day
