the factory fogs suck on lifted trucks because they are aimed right at truckers and bigger trucks, i always used to get flashed with them on when my truck was lifted, i dont ever run them now though.

That light might be a better option because you could aim it where you wanted a little better i would bet.

I had the same problem, mine are aimed down as far as possible. I only use them in the country, or I am like a light house on the road.

Yeah I didnt even think to re aim them :doh:

I have to drive with them at night, one I dont see that well at night and two we are way over run with deer around here. I mean its so bad that my HOA hires hunters/trappers to thin them out here.

True "fog" lights are actually yellow, i had a set of PIAA's that worked awesome, but im thinking about getting 4300k HIDs for my fogs...

Why not 3k for fogs? They seem to be the most beneficial vs looks as far as fog light purposes go.

I've got fogs and rigid D2's on my truck. I can't drive in traffic with them on cause they are ridiculously bright and blind everyone, but they are awesome for country and dirt roads. It adds alot of light far and to the sides where the brights and fogs won't even touch.

Yeah it comes with bracket but there is nowhere to bolt them in that area. I made a bracket bar that goes across the bumper from bumper bracket to bumper bracket with some small square tubing and flat iron. The bumper hides it so you can't see it. Here's a picture that shows the kind of brackets it comes with.

Good to hear from someone that has used them. I will definitely go that route. They look good sitting there too.

Keep us posted. I have been thinking of replacing the stock fogs and putting HID's in the headlights so all the lights can match. It really doesn't matter but half white and half yellow lights just bug me lol

that'll look awesome! I'm debating on harley lights on my truck as well, or just PTM the orange in the headlights to silver.
