    It does look quite intimidating, doesn't it.

    But to me it also imparts a distinctly "street" feel to the front end. Very slick and not quite in balance with the more off-pavement look I'm attempting to achieve.

    Closing out my own request in this thread, I was able to get the measurements (roughly, but close enough to count) of those sockets. I'm going to replace the OEM lamps and housings with a pair of true fog lamps.
    (The ones I've purchased are the 80mm 55W H3 Halogen DE Series from Hella.) I plan to disconnect them from the lighting controls on the stalk, and wire them to an Isuzu OEM fog lamp switch to be placed in the fuzzy
    hole blank plate I acquired last year. The other two switch location will also sport OEM fog switches - already acquired - to control two banks of auxiliary lighting: a pair of driver beams mounted to the safari bar, and four
    on the roof - a pair of spots at the inboard position and a pair of floods at the outboard position.

    I love it when a plan comes together. When it begins, I'll be sure to document everything in a fresh thread.

    V- are you talking the MICRO DE series? I couldn't find any other on their website with H3 55W & DE.
    Your plan sounds great, can't wait to see it.

    I replaced my round stock lites with HID lites with 'halo ring' that can change color.as desired. They look pretty cool. Forget the brand name but can look in my files. Scott
