Default KC foglights

I am interested in installing a pair of KC Daylighters on a 1995 Jeep Cherokee with a factory bumper. The question I have is do I have enough room on the bumper to install them with how deep the Daylighters go? The last resort is to go for a set of KC slimlites.
Thanks

I am sure you can get the dimensions from their website and measure it to fit. I don't think they would be a problem though.

I have a set of daylighters at my fiance's house. I'll stop by there tomorrow and take a pic of them sittin on my 95's bumper. Hell, maybe i'll even mount em if they fit and look ok. Kinda forgot that i still had those. Think i need a relay for them tho, if i remember correctly i had to tap on it to get the lights to come on when they were on my TJ.

In order to get my lights on I had to order a light bar that bolts into the license plate holes. It works really well, and looks good.

I dont know how difference the size makes, but these ones put out 750,000 candle power per light. The smaller size is a bit less.

I was planning on using them while driving on the road so I guess I might go for a lower wattage. I was thinking of using the factory wiring and found the plug for the factory switch I have to get but where would the plugs be to plug the fog lights into the wiring?

If you are talking about using them on the highway, then yes, a lower wattage is good. I drive the Alaska highway frequently at night, so I need alot of light.
