Hi, I recently got a 2006 G500, and got it registered, detailed, and looked over by a local reputable shop and things are more or less in pretty good shape now. I have a bad foglight and the prices the shop was quoting ($350/each) seemed kind of high, especially if I could find a good after market LED upgrade. Has anyone had good experience with a good LED foglight and/or headlight. I think I might just do them all at once…
So far I am really loving it. It feels so solidly built, like my old Porsche 993.
thanks in advance

For the front fogs, I plan to add a pair of diode dynamics SSC2 pods with a yellow DRL and yellow DOT SAE beam pattern, but they will require a custom bracket and a custom surround piece to integrate nicely into the bumper. The same can be done with a set of Baja Designs S2Pro's. I just haven't had time to design a custom bracket and prototype it.
If you don't care about integrating them nicely, then the sky is the limit for mounting on the brush guard.
For headlights, any 7" round LED unit made for Jeeps will fit with an H4 to H13 adapter harness. I used JW Speaker 8700's, but others have used models from KC Highlights, JW Speaker knockoffs, 2019+ Like units from Alibaba/Ebay, etc. You'll need a headlight adapter but they are plentiful and relatively inexpensive. I had an issue with my ecu shutting off the headlight circuit due to the LEDs drawing so much less current, so I had to make a custom headlight load resistor harness to trick the computer. Seems like this is a hit or miss thing, but you should be aware of it.
I've done plenty so grab some popcorn and skim through my build thread. There are also a bunch of threads on replacing lights with LED found via search.
