Here's the deal. I just went for a drive at 11:00pm, and it's pouring down rain (and dark, duh...)
I can't see SH*T, inspecific, the lines on the roads. So, I'm thinking I need to upgrade my lighting. I think that foglights would help me out a lot because the beams would hit the road at a different angle, hopefully making the lines on the road easier to see.
What have y'all got, how well does it work? Pics and descriptions, please!
Dump the stock lights and get some 7" Hella or Cibies first. After you try them, then decide if you want fog lights. If you come to the 24 you can check out my Cibies.
I have a set of Auto Zone round lights. Cheap and they work ok... I'll know for sure after the 24!
Plastic lens, really good beam cut-off, and bright. You might also find them at Land Rover accessories suppliers. If you get a set with the extra side light in, you can either wire them up, or just leave unwired.
I have a set, purchased from a Land Rover specialist.
Well, currently I'm running stockers (I think...whatever was on the car when I bought it) with yellow lamin-x over them. The yellow has somewhat helped me out at night, but light output itself still sucks. I was thinking about buying some of the plastic housing that allow you to run H4's or other generic bulbs, then buying plug-n-play HID's. I'm just wondering what I'm going to do about cut-off in terms of projectors or whatever. I've got some HID research to do.
I'd also love to have fogs, but not necessarily in the stock hole in the front bumper...so, that means either aftermarket front bumper cover, OR, I could try and cut holes in my bumper cover, kinda sketch about that.

Can you tell me a brand and/or size of your fog/driving lamps. They are just what I've been looking for. Large enough to look old school.

I had the PIAA 959s when the fog-light craze started, then it got stolen so I scored a set of Lexus ES300 yellow fogs from the junkyard which were fricken awesome for night driving/bad weather driving...then THOSE got jacked and I've given up every since. But now that I see less and less ricers with fog lights, I might get a set of PIAAs again. Those PIAA 959s are heavenly.
