Hella FF75 installed in TJM T-15
Took the day off cause I had a list of things to do a mile long. One of them was this...
I installed a set of Hella FF75 fog lights in my TJM T-15 bumper. It's a pretty dreary day today, so the pic isn't very good. More pics, details, and a writeup coming next week (hopefully).

There Hella FF75's.
Jackson - How much did you have to trim off to make them fit? I just got a pair to install into my TJM and was just curious. Looks great though and I can't wait until tomorrow to put them in.

Some brief details...
I had to move the turn signals up to the corner lamps (now they are both parking lights and turn signals). That allowed me to use the original turn signal location for the fog lamps. I had to widen the opening by about 1/2 and inch on each side of the opening (basically, just to the outside of the original screw holes). Cutting the bumper was a long, patient process with my dremel. There's probably a better tool (sawzall), but I wanted the precision of the Dremel. I still have to put some silicon in a few places to seal holes and cover exposed metal.

I'm referring to the pieces above and below what used to be your turn signals on the TJM. It looks like raised metal guards of some sort. My TJM a flat all around the turn signals.

If you mean the rectangular surround that "outlines" the fog lights, it's part of the housing that the fog lights mount to. It mounts to the bumper and is made by TJM for the bumper and the Hella FF75s

too clarify this .... if you remove the yellow turn sginals from your TJm, you will see the recess that you see in jacksonpt's bumper. His new hellas are mounted inside the bumper, and the yellow lights that came on our bumpers cover up the trim that your talking about. I don't know if this helps ...
Edit: just pop out the yellow lights on your TJM, and you'll have the same trim.
