    That’s a Diamondback cover. I have an HD myself and I haven’t had any issues with leaking. I park outside and I’m in Oregon, so it sees a lot of rain.

    I've no idea yet. We won't have fog and heavy rain for another month or two. ;)

    There's a difference between clear "driving lights" and actual "fog lights" - amber/yellow. In my book they both do a pretty good job of lighting up the road in the areas our headlights miss, particularly along the sides of the road. If you're just looking to see more in the dark, clear driving lights are the way to go. Good article here:

    https://nomadist.com/gear/driving-lights-vs-fog-lights/

    Bottom line, for me, is they'll hopefully work better in the rainy and foggy conditions we get a lot of here. Like @Phenom3030 mentioned, clear/white light is reflected by fog, mist and such more than amber/yellow. Time will tell if just changing the lens color will make a difference. Of course, and most importantly, there's the cool factor. :D The lighting experts will chime in. :crapstorm: :rofl:

    Correct. I have the HD also and it doesn’t leak either up here in WA.

    Same reasons I put the laminex on my lights also. I feel in clear conditions you don’t see the light as well on the road but helps in the heavy mist/fog. I don’t normally run my fog lights in clear conditions but now when they’re left on…it looks way cooler!

    The Lamin-x film is pretty thick so it should help to avoid rock chips and such too.

    I agree, I was actually pleasantly surprised at the quality for the price. I considered trying to find a clear product for the headlights just to add protection there.

    Swapped out the grill to the TRD Pro-clone one, installed front Anytime camera and hooked it up, switched the shifter knob to the Meso one and moved ECT button to the shifter, installed Dobinsons twin tube shocks in the rear. A little bit closer to where I’d like the truck to be.

    Can confirm, imo amber fogs offer better viz in fog, rain, snow over having both the headlight and fogs both white.
    Also helps at night on snow to give some depth and contrast to an otherwise completely white ground, which helps to see.

    Brand new.
    I just got to put the brand new American flag up on top of the Home Depot in Westfield, Ma.

    I can now say I was on the roof. Not many people get the honor, and believe it or not roof is white so it’s not that hot up there.
