    I'm appealing to the TW gods to help me out with this conundrum.

    Looking to get my fog lights back into my truck since they've been disconnected since Oct last year in order to get my ARB on.

    When I search for fog light alternative I see nothing that fits well into the market light housing indicated on the picture (reference the red arrows).

    Some options involve plasma cutting which I'm iffy about if it will reduce the arbs integrity.

    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated

    cut a hole and install some aftermarket fogs. the inside bracing for your bumper vs the one with the openings is the same.

    Holy bitch tits that helps!
    I'm in the same boat. Last winter up here I could have used them a few times especially while living in the country

    Let me what you end up doing! I just installed the ARB bumper 2 weeks ago, but have been researching solutions for month. I don't like the look of the foglight cutout and I think the fog light kit from ARB is overpriced.

    Haven't settled on how I want to tackle this, but a simple solution I've considered is mounting those Baja S2 lights behind the grill on the lower section.

    To me that seems like the option to go (rigid lights) but that 457.99 US price tag hurts me so. Haha.

    I was thinking about cutting out squares for a cheaper Amazon pod that looks like this.

    If you're going to go through the trouble to cut squares, why not get a set of Rigid D-Series Pro pods? Quality and light output is going to blow away those Amazon pods and you get Rigid's warranty. They're going to cost you around at the high-end for their hyperspot combo beam, but you can get normal spot or flood for around $170.

    It was more of an idea. Id like to keep the existing profile of the mounts though.

    Maybe you and I should start a rigid group buy haha

    Gotcha. I'm down to start a rigid group buy! I have the hyperspot d-series pods already that I'm going to use as ditch lights. I wouldn't picking up another pair of d-series pods with amber lighting and flood pattern. Haven't decide where I'm going to mount it, but if we can get a nice discount I'm all in :thumbsup:
