Hi Guys ,

Im planning to install smittybilt stryker bumper on my 2019 JLUR which currently has plastic bumper and LED fogs .
Smittybilt description says bumper has options to fit OEM fogs without modifications but i see mixed reviews on that some you tube videos that is saw said fogs were direct fit while some said it needed some modifications to accommodate OEM LED fogs .

has anyone here installed smittybilt stryker bumper with OEM LED fogs ?

My 2020 jl Led fog lights look like this on the back... the back for the fog light can’t be taken apart like the non-led foglights ... so its a freakin nitemare trying to install. I watch a bunch of install video they all had the old non-led fog light where they were able to take apart the fog light and connect to a bracket .

My solution is order pair of non-led fog lights off eBay that look like this ... Ill eventually swap out yellow Led bulbs or upgrade to morimoto fog light later on, but I need the hardware off the non -led fogs

What model and bumper package are your LED fogs from? I thought I saw there are 2 versions of LED fogs on the JL’s in addition to the non-LED version of fogs. One being the plastic bumper (ex Sahara’s) and the other the metal bumper version commonly on Rubicon’s.

I am looking at getting this bumper as well and havea Sahara plastic bumper with LED fogs and curious if they will work without modifications

I have plastic bumper with LED fogs ...@THEREED you are right ..looks like there are two version's of LED fogs the one on the plastic bumper has different housing than the one on metal bumper .

@Djhyper66 the picture of your led fog is from metal bumper ?

Might I suggest looking into what size winch you plan on putting in the bumper.... with the fog lights that close to the winch fairlead mount, the fog lights may impinge the mounting of anything larger that a 10Klb winch.

i have this bumper and I replaced the steel bumper. My fogs did NOT fit.

I have a gen 3 9.5 and I was able to get the fogs in. Highly suggest doing it before putting the main part of the bumper on though and definitely before the skid. Ask me how I know.
@aphillips76 thank you .. do you think a gen 3 12 k will fit this bumper and clear the fogs?
Please share pics of your jeep with stryker bumper

I don’t think there is any difference in the size of the two winches. Note that the Clearance issues I had were more to do with the grill than the fogs. Make sure you use the spacers that comes with the bumper. It’s not in the instructions...

it’s a rough country with DRL.

As for the spacer, it’s just a flat rectangle that goes on between the frame horns and the main winch plate thing.
