So I want to put these led's in my stock bumper fog lights for my 89 Limited and they fit and work perfectly with no flicker but they are 1/3 inch too long so the glass lens won't cover the bulbs! How could I extend the lens 1/2 inch out so they fit?

Well the place I go off-roading is very diary and the yellow light blends in too well and I almost got hit head on by some buggys last time but a white light is easier to see. The top of the bulb that points forward is actually an HID Projector and around the sides of the bulb are LED's so I don't know if that makes a difference. And will they provide the same amount of light as the stock halogens?

Maybe I'll put the led's in the fog light enclosure and relocate the fog lights into the bumper like the 2001 xj?

A fog light only throws enough light to maybe see a car in front of you,Putting brighter lights in them still will have the same out come.I would upgrade my headlights or add driving to the bumper or spot lights on the roof.Take a look at http://www.realtruck.com/spyder-led-fog-lights/ it will explain off road lights easier then i can.

I decided to keep the halogens and not install the LED's. This is my friends dads JK (just to clarify money is not a problem. My friends DD is a Ford Raptor). Will post the pic in a sec
