Default Fog lights plz help



when i bought my xj i took off the stock fogs cause they were cracked and didnt work. but now im acking for some but dont know what kind to get. I dont have alot of money to spend on them cause im broke from the wheels and tires i just bought so what is the best fog/spot light i can get for the least price? I DONT plan on using them with the normal lights they have already been wired into a switch on the console.

I have a set of kc 57 series lights that came with my last xj. I just bought all new hardware for them. Kc offers lexan lens that are unbreakable and warranteed for 23 years. The set is about $130 and comes with fog lens(amber), fog lens(clear), and driving lens(clear). I just swapped the lens to flood(glass/clear) and love em.

here's the series http://www.kchilites.com/store/Driving-C56.aspx

Default Me too!

My XJ had a set of the factory foglights but were gone when I got it. I have seen the Baja lights at Walmart and thought about getting a set just because they are so cheap. I wanted to know if I could splice into the existing wiring for the old lights or do I need a heavier gauge wire than the jeep came with? My other question is will these mount in the original location on the bumper without drilling any new holes? Thanks for the help.
