Replacing the original fog lights

[Steve Neal]

I’m using a pair of Great Whites, that fit with the PIAA Yamaha brackets and provide 3x the wattage of the Yamaha accessory PIAAs. Of interest to you is that Great Whites are Australia based!

Now that looks great and I’ve learnt something, had no idea they were based here- thanks for the pics.

What is your reason to replace the factory fogs? Looking for a cheaper replacement because of failure or just not happy with the lighting?

I only ask because I came across a set for a good price and was considering getting them. Curious how you like the PIAA's.

Nothing wrong with the standard ones for fog but they jus don’t have the depth for spotting wildlife.

Do a search on here for posts by OX-34, he’s from Oz and has a great lighting setup on his S10. He has put up pictures in several threads.

Very nice bluish white, but it seems to me that, comparing both lights, it seems to me that the new one must be badly placed ... a dark spot is seen

I should have explained. So these are the outback Halo Bull Bar lights. What you’re seeing is only the halo rings lit. I have the halos on all the time as running lights. The main beams are tied to my high beam switch and are shown in the other photo I posted.

I meant this shadow, but if the second photo is in High beam, that's fine.

Jlq1969, what you are seeing is simply the shadows from the angle of the camera. Photo shots of lighting is cannot ever tell the true way it looks through the human eye.

That’s “good news” thanks I’ll have a look.

Great White makes several models, which do you have?

These are the ones I got. I found a set at Costco for $189.

I did have to drill out the bolt holes in the PIAA brackets a little to get the larger bolts of the Great Whites lights to fit, but there is plenty of material to accept the larger hole/bolt on the brackets. I used a change over relay so the halos are lit when on low beam and the main beams are lit on high.

Thanks for the info, seems difficult to buy outside of Oz unfortunately. Costco doesn't carry them in Japan.

I should clarify that I found these on Costco.com, to my knowledge these were an online item only. I've never seen them in any of the Costco stores.

Thanks Jeff. Just had a look online and it seems they don't have them now.

Yeah, that's the problem with Costco, if you see something you like you better grab it!
