    on these?

    20200501_212758.jpg

    Looking around for a new fog light set up. I need more than what I currently get with my OEM fogs. I looked through the fog light threads and didn't really find what I was looking for. The morimoto lights seem a bit steep. These seem a bit more reasonable in price and they come off as a cross between the Morimoto and Spyder fog lights.

    I'm not a big fan of the Cali raised look but I've heard good things. I've also thought about projectors but haven't seen them in action. (Other than a few projector headlights I have had)

    So has anyone had any experience with these? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    As always, thanks

    I don't have any direct experience with those particular lights, but I did just install the same style of Morimoto fogs in one of my other vehicles. The light pattern is very different vs. a regular incandescent bulb type of fog light:

    I had them aimed a bit high in that shot, but you get the idea. They throw light farther out to each side, but over a much more narrow swath vertically.

    Right on, thanks for the visual. I currently have led bulbs in the halogen housing. God awful.. I can't even tell they're on. Thanks for the info, this will definitely help me make a decision.

    I'll have to check those out, thanks! Seems they might be the around the same price as the Morimotos? The price doesn't offended me, I just want to make sure im getting what I pay for.

    You heard they might be coming back out with 2.0 gen soon?

    Trust me, the DD SS3's blow the Morimotos away. I used to have the Morimotos, so I know. Absolutely no comparison.

    Baja design also makes DOT approved fogs. I have the wide cornering sports and they light up the road like crazy
