I had these Bosch fog lights laying around so I decided to try them on the Ranger, and I think they turned out pretty good. They're mounted in the bumper bolt holes so no drilling.

Switch is mounted in the glove box.

not giving him crap... just suggesting that they might look brand new if he gave them a little paint... maybe he does or doesn't want that look.

Thanks everybody, I'd say these lights are 25 years old which is what I think is cool about them.

Other than the logo rubbing off the covers the lights are mint.

But what do ya'll think, would you go on ahead and paint them? I'm kind of torn on it because I like how they say Bosch, but I don't like how worn the logo is.

Thanks, they do use H3 bulbs so they may be a little newer than 25. I have a set of Marchals that use H2 bulbs, and it's hard to find bulbs for those.

tough to beat Marchal and Bosch for their fog lights. had them both years ago when stationed in Europe and you had to have fog lights there. they look right on your truck!!
