Fog lights.

i have an old ARB bumper on the front of my truck. It DOES NOT have fog lights or a place to put fog lights in. I can put them on top of the bumper but I have no idea what to get.

Any suggestions?

 

Do you want fog lights or do you want something brighter? The Rigid Dually is pretty nice and comes with a wiring harness. You can find similar lights for less, but Rigid is a known quality. They are bright though and you need to dim them for oncoming traffic.

Realistically depending on your state's laws you may have to dim regular old fog lights anyways. Here in Oregon fog lights are to be treated like high beams.

 

Fog lights should be mounted below the bumper. If they are mounted above the bumper you need driving lights, fog lights will not help you see in for above the bumper, they will illuminate the fog and not the ground degrading visibility. There isn't anything to special about fogs, wide diffused beam pattern and 35 watts by law and mounted low. If you wanted driving lights, or flood lights for off road that is another animal entirely.

 

This ^^^ And for best results, they really should be yellow-ish, as it is not refracted as much as white light is.

Problem is, most folks think bigger is better for everything. And it ain't necessarily so.

 

Yea, I know. I'll get driving lights later. I definitely need fog lights though because of my commute to work in the mountains is quite foggy a lot of times.

My issue is, on my old ARB bumper, there is really no place to mount them beneath the headlight. The only light on my actual bumper is my blinker light (that doesn't work right anyways)

 

No place or no space?

If there is space, a hole saw (or other tools of choice) can make the place.

 

Hmm I suppose there is space. I don't have the tools or really even the knowledge to do all of that! Lol

 

Or use a bracket mounting style and drill a hole on the bottom of the bumper to mount the light to. You can get low profile fog lights so they hang down a minimal amount below the bumper.

 

If all else fails then that sounds like a good route. I'm just a little worried of something hanging from the bumper.

 

Fog lights are not anything high tech, just get low profile cheap ones that will get the job done. If they get damaged 4 wheeling on a steep approach angle, your out $30 for a set of new ones.

 

Touché, thanks
