front amber lights to fogs

Hey,
so i am not sure if this has ever even been considered before, but since i dont have fog lights due to the PO wanting to install a cold air, but not doing it but throwing the fogs out anyway...
would it be possible to put a high power LED or some other kind of light in there to act as a fog light?
this would be in addition to getting the CLEAR lights you see all over EBAY.

thanks

Yes you can install after market Fog lights or even OEM's. Aftermarket's cost about $20 to $50 depending on if you go LED or Halogen which look more OEM like. I think the company is called Blazer. Auto Zone, Pep Boy's, Murray's, etc. all stock them.

And the add on of the clears is a simple swap, as easy as changing a bulb.

but since i can get them for cheap aftermarket (i dont know why i never considered this option)

Oh...yea I would keep my turning signal....they are kinda important and just put the fogs back where they belong.
