    I live in sunny Santa Monica, CA so i'm pretty sure there is no need for running amber lights. I would like to make the switch to LED Fogs. I do run them day/night (like the look). For night driving they are very helpful with a side job I do a few nights a week picking up and charging Bird Scooters (they'll for sure be in your town soon).

    I like the Baja Design fogs but pretty pricy and from the excellent TW members review- he says they run hot.

    What Fogs are you running and are you happy with them?

    -pics would be great!

    Thanks in advance for any input

    Remember experiences are subjective and aren't always a good base for personal choices.

    I'm well aware of that, thank you. Pretty much thought the whole purpose of a forum is for asking and sharing user experiences.

    I have been running the Rigid SAE fogs since they came out. I have nothing but good things to say about them. No issues with them at all. I saw a thread a while back where the lens had started to deteriorate. But that's the only negative thing I have seen on them. The rigid mount itself is TERRIBLE (05-11 tacoma fog mount) and barely allows enough adjustment to keep them aimed correctly. But it does work.

    If Baja came out with a SAE pod I would try those as well. But until then I'm not going to be that guy blinding everyone coming at me.

    It's also full of threads with experiences on just about every product sold.

    Very helpful info @DirtJumper14. The Rigid are what i'm leaning toward. Seems to be the best bang for the buck. Hope the mounting is a little better for the 3rd gen.

    Anytime. You will not be disappointed with the rigid pods. It looks kinda funny having stock headlights with led pods, but it's legal. From what I have seen the 3rd gen mounts are better, I believe. Anything has to be better than the 2.0 gen mount from rigid.
