Delta Fog lights vs. Driving lights
 
I'm tired of my nasty OEM DRL housings, half the reflector is burned away at the top. The LED towers I installed makes them look 1,000 times better but I want something that looks even better.

I plan to buy the non-HID Delta set and eventually retrofit in some HID's like PDX did.

However here are my questions:

-what is the difference between the fog light and driving light sets? I thought I read somewhere around here the driving lights are fluted glass while the fogs are smooth??

-do these lights directly install into the factor mounting holes or is there modification requred to the back of the bumper?

-says it comes with a stand alone harness and relay kit. So do these plug into the factory harness at all or is there cutting and splicing required??

-Fogs show an H3 bulb for the light source, is that the same for the driving lights?

That being said I don't mind modifying or doing electrical work obviously if you've seen my build thread. At the same time I like to keep the electrical as close to stock as possible in regards to the plugs, etc in case I ever want to reverse the mods.

Basically I want the Deltas to function exactly like the factory DRL's we have (with the DRL mod most of us have).

Thanks in advance, and pics if you've got'em!!

I know the DRL OEM bulb # is 4114. I replaced mine to LED last summer. I am also wanting to upgrade these to a PIAA 510 (as I read on here that is an exact fit).
I'll keep checking back to see if you get any answers or pics as I am curious as well.

I also replaced mine with LED towers quite a while ago and looks great.

I always forget about the PIAA 510's. I need to do some research about how they mount and hook up. The Deltas are out as I don't want to hack up the mounting portion of the bumper in case I ever go back stock.

If the 510's mount without issue that's definitely the route to go.

best info I could find, most of the threads are repeat info.

Looks like everyone is just taking the mounting bolt and flipping it to point backwards and using that one bolt to mount through the factory bolt hole.

A couple have mentioned using large washers on either side of the factory mounting hole to give the plastic some rigidity so the light isn't bouncing around.

Good thread. I just wish I could see a pic of what they looked like in the bumper (front view).

Looks like the 510's are the winner!

they're supposed to fit perfect, apparently there is a little gap if you don't use the rock guards but with the guards on there isn't a gap.

I think its the best route without having to hack up the mounting holes for the Deltas.

Now just to find a pair of 510's for a decent price....

I would love to see a picture of the PIAA 510 fitted into the DRL location in an H2
