Default Anyone used these fog lights? Rugged Ridge slim lights...

I was surfing through eBay and saw these for $100 -- linking to the Rugged Ridge site because it's got better pictures.
http://www.ruggedridge.com/6-inch-ro...-housings.html

They're 6"s, come with the wiring kit, have metal houses and glass lenses... They sound comparable to the KC Slimlites, but $70 cheaper.
Still cheaper than the Apollos, or Hellas... I've been looking for something I can mount on the stock bumper (my fog lights broke off), and these are supposed to be thin.
Only reviews I can find are on Amazon where they're reviewing the lights and mounting kit for a Wrangler... Only 2 reviews, but both are 5 stars and one compares them to the KCs she already has.

Anyone have experience with these?
If not I might take one for the team and try 'em out.

Why buy halogen? You can get some nice LED pods for that price and they are more compact than those. Mounting a 6" light on the bottom of the stock bumper is asking for one to be hit with a rock... If you shop around, you can get a set a set of Rigids for close to that price.

Well... I don't know, when I think of fog lights, halogens just come to mind. =P
But I'm going to mount them in the stock location, not on the bottom of the bumper.
Like phillyxj570 did:


I don't know... The Rigid lights wouldn't look right in that location, and I don't use them that much anyway -- mainly getting them to cover up the ugly spots where the old ones were mounted.

Whatever floats your boat... My stock fogs were mounted in the valance under the front bumper.

These will do what you want

Have more output, are smaller, more durable, last longer and are about the same price + we stand behind them with a lifetime warranty!
