Default Stock foglights suck.
While I have been waiting for Chrysler to ship me parts for my auto-manual swap, I decided to add some LEDs to my foglights. I was sick of breaking bulbs and having my "hyperwhite" ones melt the inside of the things.

I made a piece of polycarb that fit snuglly inside the lens, then drilled 23 holes and added 23 LEDs to each lens. Then I wired them up (crude, I know), and re-sealed the foglights. I hope you enjoy the results!

I hope the multi-function switch can handle it. They like to melt.

Question Re: Stock foglights suck.
The shine nice, but how far do they throw light though? Nice work.
