Fog Light replacement

[Racer X]

Ever considered checking out the PIAA 1500 series lamps? They are one of the best.

The reason most don't consider PIAA is because foglights on these cars take a beating, given their location. I deal with cracked lenses at least 1 a year on my car. I'd be ****** if my $130 set of Fog Lights got cracked, whereas i could give 2 ***** if my $20 Pilots got it.

Just my $0.02

If you have every taken a set of Blazers apart, you will find that the H2 bulb (which is a great bulb, btw) is held in by a cheap plastic housing that tends to melt.

Every few months I had to take them apart and clean the contact up.

The 2600s don't fit the Gen1 all that well. The pictures above are similar, but smaller.

Yeah I took mine apart, however, the bulb holder was some sort of fiber resin.. or something. It's not quite plastic.

On the H2 bulb, it seems to be the most efficient of the H series single filament bulbs. However, it's use was limited (unfortunately) to Europe primarily, and East Asia, which is why the bulb is so difficult to acquire. Aside from a few Mustangs and Thunderbirds, no other cars in North America ever saw this bulb.

the good news is, though...they very rarely fail.

I apologize if I missed it but did anyone have a recommendation for replacement on a Gen 1?

Thanks

I used Navigator NV-1055C WK that you can find at a Walmart with old stock. I think they are out of production, but there are always some on E-bay for about $20.00. They are 5" X 1.875" and 2.25" deep and fill the space nicely. They have a fluted lens that makes them look original. It has been awhile, but I think I even used their supplied bracket. The kit comes with wiring and switches and a lot of stuff to make it a stand alone kit for a car with no driving lights, but you just disregard all that stuff.

this wont be a popular opinion but i went to walmart bought the rectangular set and wired them in directly and im going on about 5 years now with a great set of fog lights. No problems and they fit perfectly. I think it was like 50$ ish for the set ? maybe less? no need to get anything high tech man.
