Not sure of the brand but they look just like the ones that 06HD150 posted. I got mine from a store that sells items that have small imperfections in them.

You have my attention Jon. I have been trying to figure out the best option for yellow fog conversion.

Very nice! Didn't you just do a front end tune up? Turns out I need upper and lower ball joints on both sides. Do you recommend a brand? The ones now are factory with 134k on them. I'm lifted 6-8" if that matters.

I also need upper ball joints and wheel bearing if you have any recommendations!

Yes I did. Moog lower ball joints, tie-rod ends and sway bar bushings. For the sway bar links I went with AC Delco. I used Monroe Reflex struts to retain my factory coil springs. I had already done Moog upper control arms a year ago. Steering and handling is greatly improved!

I used Duplicolor Metal Cast Yellow. 2 light coats, let them dry, wet sanded and then 2 heavier coats. Let that dry and then used Meguiars Ultimate Compound. These will be so freaking yellow because I have Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs already. I did basically the same thing in my old Focus.
