Default Alternative to $159 Fog lamp replacement?

I noticed my driver side fog lamp went out the other day, and figured i'd replace both while i'm at it, but when i looked u the fog light replacement assembly, for just one, it costs 159 dollars. So i'd be looking at 318 dollars for fog lights!? If i had known how expensive they were before, i probably wouldnt have had them on all the time. Anyone know other options, hopefully, cheaper ones?

Just replace the bulbs? Or did the entire assembly break.

I just bought a used assembly for $30 shipped from Paul Grant. The connector was cut so I just spliced my old one on.

I don't think you can just replace the bulb in the disco I series. Just the whole fog light itself..

Those are just bulbs. When you look at the back of the fog light, theres just wires coming out. No **** to twist and pull out a bulb.

Sorry did not see you were talking about a DI. Call Will Tillery and also check ebay I'm sure Brit Parts makes after market lights.

REMOVE THEM COMPLETELY.

Are you talking about the assembly that is partt of the plastic air dam?

One of mine fried real bad before I bought my Disco. The previous owner had experienced multiple electrical problems due to it shorting out, possibly from him driving thru mud puddles.

I recently removed the entire air dam and the fog lamps as well. i like it much better with the additional front ground clearance.

That sounds like a good idea, did you remove the front end caps as well? do you have pics? Cause i just got a brush guard on, and was thinking of putting fog lights on there, and could probably just use the fog light switch i have now, and take out the stock ones

there's a body line at your end cap that you can just saw around, pull the phillips head screws out that hold your air dam on, and remove.

I did mine several years ago, then mounted (2) 4" 110w eagle eyes on top of bumper.
wired into existing running light wires, (now unused), works great.

In some states, it's illegal to drive with off-road lites on, so check.

luck,greg
