    So I found the factory fog-lights to be completely useless (for my purposes). Looking a for cheap and easy replacement, I found that the 4" round LED that can be had on Amazon (Kalwell is one brand) fit almost perfectly into the existing pockets on a 2015. Not really something for use on the street, but way more useful IMO. There's a flat spot that you can bolt the light's bracket to. The lights then tuck into the pocket and are angled slightly outward.

    I did read as much as I could on here looking for options, and it appears that 2015 is somewhat unique in its fog-light arraignment (perhaps it carried over into the next gen). Not sure what years are similar, but 2015 seems to have a different fog lights than the previous years for the 2nd gen.

    These. They're not that directional, more of a work light than a spot. They're also not that waterproof. Last set made it a couple years and then needed replaced. Cheap and easy to swap in so it works for me.

    ETA: I had these lights before, and they made it 2 years before water got them. They did a nice job of illuminating off to the sides.

    I just put these in, but haven't had a chance to try them out.

    Also did the fusebox relay jumper to be able to use the foglight switch without needing the lowbeams on.
