If you're just looking for regular fog lights Walmart has a pair for like 25 bucks. Its they're Baja lights and lots of people use em. Harbor Freight also has some for cheap too. Sorry I don't have any photos but search around a little and you'll find em.

If you're looking for super bright lights and are not cheapy's, you could do the Delta JK Wrangler bumper lights. These things kick a$$ when it comes to lighting up the trails. And what I like is that only a few people have them so they are not too common.

I have grill mounted lights that work nice. they are not so bright that people get pissed at night but bright enough to do the job. My iPod won't upload photos for sum reason so if u want, I got a few good pics of them in my photo album. They were like 30$ a piece. They are also Adjustable on a hinge.

Edit: *Girl*, I really like those a lot but I just looked them up and you're right.. they are not cheap

I'm also a huge fan of those jk lights! But I really need some fogs so I might look into the wal-mart specials. Are they white or yellow? If they are white maybe a yellow film could dim them a little bit?

Anybody have some extra time? On pre 97 xj's there's a wiring harness that's hooked up to the blank on your switch panel, I'm not certain what it goes too. Theirs whispers that it may run down under the dash and then.... who knows?!?! I'm gonna try and follow it on out but I really don't have the time to work on it but so much. if somebody else wants to go ahead and try to conquer this also would be sweet!
