Default Procomp Fog lights question

I just bought a jcr light bar and got it powder coated. And I would like to run some pro comp fog/driving light. I was wonder if anyone has any comments on them and which one of the 2 below would be better. Ice been debating between the 2. Here's the links to them.

I run the small 55W 5 inchers (i believe the size is) on the outside of the 4 (which i believe ran 20 or so dollars a piece. The two 100W lights in the middle are also pro comp. I havent had a single problem with them.

The only problem i have with hella, is you arent able to adjust them DOWN if you really need to. Once you hit a certain position, the front tab prevents it from moving the actual spot light down any further, hence myself buying the pro comps.

I have run both hella and pro comp on my front end for years, never a single problem with either. Just run the wires and protect them. Run relays and fuses in line and youll have no problems.

I just looked at the links and noticed the ones you are looking at have more depth than the ones i run. Overall they should be just as good.

I run these in the middle : http://4wheelonline.com/Products.aspx?CategoryId=43751&ProductId=

And these on the outside : http://4wheelonline.com/Products.aspx?CategoryId=43742&ProductId=103043

How great are the lenses? Do they break easily?

Those ones look pretty nice too. I'm not worried at all how slim they are or what not. They are going on a light bar on the roof. Btw I like your circle headlights!

Also looks like you can light your way pretty well.

I havent had a lens break. Granted its not a hardcore wheeler, i generally keep my nose end/light bar out of the ground. Also following people on the trails i tend to keep a distance to avoid rocks throw back at me.

I'd run Hellas or kc's but they are expensive. And I'm a part time college student. And only work 20 hours a week. So looking for something good and well priced.

Well that's good. Ik them being on the roof and such they have a better chance of getting hit by tree branches and such.
