OEM fog lights off one gladiator Rubicon, and onto another Gladiator

[BAULSAUL]

“No Jeep is alike”. And I am finding that out very quickly. Anyways, is there anyway I can make this oem fog light work on my bumper? I am aware that it’s off of a Rubicon steel bumper. I have the plastic Rubicon bumper unfortunately. I did not think there would be any problems. I was very wrong I don’t care if I need to Dremel it off in order to make it work. Perhaps somebody here has found a solution? I can’t be the first person who’s had this happen. On a sidenote, I am learning a lot. I appreciate everybody’s input and help.

Also, if your plastic bumper fog lights are halogen, you'll need to change the computer settings to run the new LED fog lights.

Am I crazy? Or to add to your point- plastic rubicon lights attached here- look different

The MOPAR LED fog light design was updated at some point. I know the old ones weren't very great at all, and my Diode Dynamics SS3 Pros were WAY brighter when I upgraded to them. I'm not sure if the new MOPAR ones are any brighter than the old design.

Unfortunately, these aren’t the brackets I need. These are for steel bumper only. The bracket that is vertical, is too big. Unless I’m missing something??

Pop the panel off and you’ll see that iou don’t have a 6 inch vertical bracket as shown in the photo I shared. You’ll have 4 mounting screws in each corner.

Did you reach out to Diode and ask them?

Beware of the adapter brackets sold on Amazon - some simply are made wrong and won't work putting Overland type fog lights in a Rubicon steel bumper.
(found out the hard way)
I was unable to make them work.

I bet you are right, but what I was showing is look at the lens/light…. They are totally different just from the “light” if you posted a photo of an OEM metal bumper fog… I posted a photo of a plastic number fog.

You’re correct. I didnt have morning coffee when I read your comment. I apologize. These are from a 2021 rubicon steel bumper. The diode dynamic photo that I shared in original was just showing the brackets as an example. The Mopar light photo that I showed who is the actual fuck boy that I have. I ended up buying some oracle fog lights with halo that were listed on the marketplace. I only paid $40 and they look great. They were brand new, so I can’t complain.
