Wow, you must be blind. lol
Do you notice you have no cut off with those fog lights? There's scattered light all over that house. Those cheap Chinese Wal-Mart fog light fixtures are just not designed for it. Even with the original 55w halogen bulbs you can tell they suck. I know, because I have the same ones & put 100 watts in place. Immediately I could see that was a bad idea & swapped them back out.

I understand.
The good thing is that the fog light kit was cheap. So you can always upgrade the housings. I noticed in my other vehicles that the 100w work good in cheap low profile fogs lights. It was more concentrated, but maybe that was just that particular housing. You know different brand names, but through out the years made by the same manufacturer. You should have the same effect with your HIDs, but I doubt you would want to go that route on the jeep. That's why I picked those same off road looking lights.
