    I will replace my fog lights in the near future.

    The install brackets that come with the Baja lights do not appear to be adjustable. I would like to angle them slightly to show the edge of the road a little more. I don't need them to be angled a lot like ditch lights, but a slight angle would be good.

    The baja light kits are so much brighter than the stock, you wont have to worry about angling them.

    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    I just installed Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro SAE Fogs yesterday. First bonus, I was amazed at how fast the change was accomplished! First one was <10 minutes as I fumbled with locating all the OEM outer trim ring tabs. The second one was done in under 5 minutes.

    With these, no need to worry about angling adjustment. They're 80* and they push a hella-load of light off the edges. Intensity is incredible, too. You barely notice the headlights on low beam and we drove around last night on country roads and city and not one oncoming driver signalled their displeasure. These are simply badd-ass. Flush mount reverse lights are next!

    EDIT: These are set up with DD's "B-Kit" so they just slip into the OEM fog mounting bracket and the OEM adjustment crap just stays attached to the OEM fogs and out it goes. There is an adjuster screw on the DD's, though if needed.

    Do you have any desire to be street legal? If so, we offer the Diode Dynamics SS3 family of lights here at Hotshot Offroad (as well as the Baja lights). @GrizzledBastard alluded to them, but for a street-legal option there is currently nothing better out there that is legal (when properly aimed). If you don't care about legality, won't be running them in poor visibility conditions, etc then a case can certainly be made for the Baja Designs. The issue with the Baja Designs is that they have a ton of uplight so when conditions break down (snow, fog, etc where fog lights are intended for) they won't help as much as you would hope.
