Default Fog Lights: Bumper vs OEM vs Roof vs Side of Windshield?

Just wondering what all your opinions are? Mine are currently on my bumper. I dont have the OEM Fogs and had the oppurtunity to get them but im scared because they're so low they get damaged... My fogs on my bumper are 130W Kc Hi/Slim Lights. What are yours?

Cheap Blazer brand $35 pair, use stainless fasteners, no rust with 3 years on the plastic housings, no crying when I breakem. Not bright enough?, add more lites. Use relays and heavy wire to supply your lights. They can draw 4 to 5 amps each. Coming next roof bar and rack under construction to hold 5 of my pooched silverstar headlites, saved em, the bright beams still work. Then I'll move the roof Blazers to the side and rear of the new rack. For now, the fogs are angled a bit to the right so not to be too rude on the road, more stainless, don't forget the anitseize during assembly.

I rewired a pair (heavier gauge wire) and stuck 100 watt bulbs in em, good cheap upgrade.
