I could only find the "flood" type and I want to be able to see farther out plus there pricey, have you used LEDs before? What's your thoughts on them? Apparently you think there worth the price compared to other lights

Thanks

Yeaa I plan on it, a buddy of mine has four work/fog lights on his front bumper on his truck and said the cops were giving him looks but he doesn't even have them wired all the way so it doesn't mater anyway

There's spot ones, look up Olympus offroad on here. They aren't crazy expensive and more than worth it.

Hella FF500 Black Magics are amazing. They are bright as hell

Water proof fog lights?-image-600725030.jpg

This is a pic of the Hellas with no headlights. I can run my Hellas with out my headlights at all and have no issues at all. I can see better then just having headlights and the Hellas are SEA DOT approved so they are street legal. Also just added LED pods that I got from a member on here and run them as well but I only use them to light the road about a foot in front of the Jeep. If you really wanna see good at night ged Hella H4 conversion headlights with HIDs in them. They have a clean cut off and perfect light disputation unlike alot of members claim. I dont have pictures of the HIDs and pods but I can get them up if you want to see them.

Those look really good, I've been looking around a bit and I think I might get some reallly cheap ones right now atleast for back up lights ( I'm running without any right now ) and maybe some for the front since it's wired already but probably not either way I'm gonna have to save up for awhile then I'm gonna get some good ones And yea if you could post a pic that would be great !

Thanks!

This is my HIDs and an updated set of pics with my pods and Hellas being run with and with out my HIDs. I love this set up. Very bright very easy to see and has good light disputation at night

What cheap light are you thinking of? I would avoid the Walmart "Burners" like I said before. These are from Harbor Freight, not waterproof, but have really good reviews on their site and various Jeep forums.

Look what came in the mail a day early! They appear to be well built. I'm gonna used grade 8 hardware though. I don't trust cheap stuff.
