    Yeah I'm going to re-use my stock fogs and there are a few after market bumpers that fit them perfectly. Not sure about the one above though.

    thanks geekhouse23 for the links.

    i found several sets on E Bay.
    i know the smoked glass would look the best.
    but witch would cast the best light?
    smoked , clear or yellow??

    i have a while to decide. i will be getting the bumper Line X'd in a couple weeks.

    Depends on the conditions you drive in. Smoked would inhibit output somewhat, maybe not enough to notice, clear would obviously be the brightest but would lack in low light (fog, snowy conditions etc). Yellow would be the best in snow and fog situations. Amber lenses provide less overall brightness, but great in low level light conditions. It provides excellent depth perception and enhance contrasts in ground change conditions.

    If your area meets those conditions often, I would go yellow. Just my .02.

    Its an all pro bumper, you can put the stock fogs in if you buy or make a bracket. Some one sells them just cant remember who. I used 4" rubber abs coupling. And some 4" band straps. But since you don't have the stock Amazon has some cheap options.

    Why would you want to spend a grand on a bumper, then put the stock POS fog lights back it it? 3x3 pods are cheap and even the Chinese ones work better than the factory fogs

    Don't buy factory nock offs i meant led pods they will bolt right in like mentioned above. 3" pods are better then stock. If you have them like i did then free is always nice. Some day i will replace my stock ones for led.
