    I've got the Rigid fogs in my 17', they are much brighter than the stock fog lights, but imho they're not really fog lights anymore, they more shine all over, not necessarily downward. If a person really needs a fog light that is supposed to shine mostly lower, the Rigid's wouldn't be a good choice.

    baja design squadron r wide corning amber for the win, plug and play super easy, I'm not handy at all and did it myself in 30 minutes, angle them down a good bit though. Got flashed a bunch when they were flush with the bezel so i angled mine to where there's about a .25 inch gap on the top where its supposed to line up flush to the fog light cover/bezel.

    Any non-coated stock wattage bulb is only going to offer minor improvements over another non-coated stock wattage bulb. The additional output is generated by using more precise filaments which create a brighter hot spot in the beam, which is then advertised as +XXX% more light. So the beam has more punch in the sweet spot, but it isn't like entire pattern is significantly brighter. I've not used the Nightbreakers, I've used the Philips Xtreme on another vehicle, which is the competing bulb from Philips. It was a noticeable improvement over the old bulbs, but bulbs also dim over time so it is difficult to draw a direct comparison when replacing old bulbs vs comparing new side-by-side. Comparing Philips Extreme vs Osram Nightbreakers really starts to get to diminishing returns, both are considered the highest performing improvement over stock bulbs, at stock wattage. To get significant performance improvements out of a halogen bulb you need high wattage.

    How do they mount exactly? I've been trying to find pictures of them mounting from the inside to see if I can mount different cube lights onto those mounting plates. If you could snap a shot from the inside I would appreciate it a lot!

    You probably could as long as it mounts with the same one bolt style as rigid.
