I just installed Pathfinder LED’s from SoCal, low and high beams as well as LED swithback turn signals. What a difference it makes with the LED’s vs stock bulbs. I would like to install driving/fog lights. Any recommendations?

I also added the Solcal LED Driving/Daytime Running Lights.

Nice job! Time involved? That's my next project.
It took about 2 hours. The low beams and turn signals were very easy. The bright lights were a bit more work. Great YouTube videos to watch on how to do the install.
Here's a picture with 1 stock light and 3 LEDs

Yeah - SoCal Fog Lights. Complete the package.Quote:

I only went for a short night ride and the lighting was great, the stock lights are good but the led's are better.Quote:

you will also see the cars directly in front of you start to pull over because the leds are blinding them through the rear view mirror.
Are you sure you want to blind the guy driving a 2 1/2 ton of metal right in your direction?Quote:

I ussally don't drive at night. But since I live in the country they do light up the road.
My switchbacks and driving lights are a nice white Color. I added LED bulbs but they're a yellow tint like the originals. They are Pathfinder LEDs. Did I order the wrong ones?? Do they come in different colors?
What makes them better than these below at a fraction of their price?

No clue. Those weren't available when I did mine - 3 years and over 65,00 miles ago.Quote:

I think the Pathfinder's are more spread out.
I would tend to think the design from SoCal is meant for our Wings vs being generic. I bought a similar set for my 2000 Dodge Ram and while they're a massive improvement over stock I've had to set them twice and I still don't have them orientated correctly so my high beams work right. Although for the price they're probably worth a look and then upgrade to SoCal if you like the output.Quote:

i happened accross a trick to installing the highbeams.
takes about 15 minutes for both sides now :yikes:
Would you like to share? The thing slowing me down most about upgrading is the high beam install. I have had the front apart more than I would like.Quote:

The left is just as you said. However, I have a deluxe and there is a big metal device on the right. I'm assuming it is the cruise control module. I don't know how easy it would be to move.
That’s how I installed my hi-beams.Quote:

I just added the SoCal LED Driving/Daytime Running Lights. They are pretty nice. They work with the turn signals. The outer daytime running light changes to amber when activating the signal.
