    I would agree with the fact of when I actually use them in the snow and stuff it would help more. But I dont like how they look with the red of my truck when they are not on.

    I guess it depends if you want fog lights to use as fog lights, or just some extra lights on the front of the truck. :notsure:

    Not that the white ones won't be beneficial, though.

    obviously I like the looks of the white ones when they are just off I think it would look cleaner on my truck. But having something that helps in early morning/ night snow storms in the winter would be nice. I just want to get rid of the fake plastic covers. The additional lights is also a good plus :rofl:

    Maybe someone needs to market a yellow fog with a clear lens. Might be a popular option.

    I do like the concept of a color changing fog light, like you mentioned earlier. It's nice to have options. Maybe Diode Dynamics will have that option by the time I finally get some. :D

    Yeah its just tough with alpharex because they just got into fog lights. I already know they make good headlights and taillights. The other thing is I think it comes with everything I would need sense I dont have fogs they have all the housings and the switch and stuff. I will put the link here if you wanted to look.

    I have the Alpharex nova headlights and love them, I thought the OEM headlights sucked. I went with the diode dynamic yellow fogs which I'm really happy with. You'll have to let us know if you get the Alpharex fogs and how you like them.

    I'm still loving the D-SS ditch lights and the light bar. But, I don't know how their fog lights measure up. :notsure:

    I must be the most boring old fuck on the planet of earth based on this thread. The lights on my first gen are perfectly adequate, F350/Camry lights are good and the second gen lights are spectacular. All OEM everything. My only aftermarket lighting is rock lights on the first gen and it’s just 3 single LED’s

    Everything is adequate until you have nice ones and realize what you’ve been missing

    In my 1st year+ of off roading I've admittedly never done any wheeling at night, but I have at dusk and in very dusty conditions, and I will say that the single most important aftermarket light I've ever seen was the singular amber chase light on the rear bumper of @Camerasandcoffee truck.

    Jonathan, I want to add one of those to my truck at some point. Can you give us the details of yours?
