    Looking to get a Pelfreybuilt front bumper for my 2012. What is everyone running for fog lights with these setup? Yes I did a search, and nothing too recent popped up. Looks like a lot of guys run the Squadrons from Baja Designs in either pro or sport flavor. Seems like a nice light but I'd really like something that I can run on road without blinding other drivers. I plan on adding a light bar which I will use offroad.

    I noticed KC lights is making a Gravity G4 fog light they claim is road legal and dimension wise looks like it will fit in the bumper. Anyone have experience with these fogs?

    Any input greatly appreciated. For the light bar I am considering the rough country single row which is a 30 degree spot. The rigid and baja design light bars look great but they are huge dollars.

    Im running Rigid D2's in that spot. I believe Rigid makes a DOT approved driving light in that size, so it may not blind on coming traffic.

    Running Baja Designs wide cornering lens. Nice and wide, good "fill" light, but doesn't have a cut off so you light people's faces up if you leave them on. When I do forget them I don't get flashed a lot, but I still feel like a jerk.

    I thought about getting those KC Gravity LED's, the picture's I've seen had a nice cut off.

    Good stuff guys. I like the Iggy light bar I will probably go that route over the rough country. I think i am going to try the KC fog lights as I drive quite often with them on road. The Jeep guys all rave about them. Will keep you posted on how they work out.

    I'm running Wicked for the bar and fogs. $80. For the 21" 3D ultra thin single row and 2" round led 10w flood trail light. The fog is DOT for $55. If any want a pic I can take a couple. Only had them a couple weeks so no long term review but happy for now with the price and look.

    We have lots of customers running the Squadron-R Sports in Wide Cornering (Amber or White) without issues. It does come down to driver discretion and how they are aimed. The Sports provide at least 2-3x the usable light over OEM with a perfect fit in the @Pelfreybilt bumper. These are backed by a 30 day satisfaction guarantee if you decide to try them out and for some reason they aren't what you're looking for. They are not DOT approved but seem to be the most "street friendly" lights in our product line. Don't forget! We offer a 10% TW forum discount if you call (800)422-5292x114

    I ordered the Baja style bumper for my 2008 - I plan on giving the Diode Dynamics led bars a try. They are rated legal for road use:
    "Not just off road! In six-inch size, when installed as a pair and aimed in accordance with your state's regulations, the Driving pattern meets SAE J581 as a Driving/Auxiliary High Beam Light, and the Wide pattern meets SAE J583 as a Foglamp, for legal on-road use. Please check your local laws and regulations for aiming, installation, and applicability."

    Obviously there's a chance you'll get shit for it from the local cops but hey at least they meet a standard.
    Let me know if you want pricing - I'm going to run the 18" in combo format and then I'm going to try to fit the 6" ambers for the fogs...

    I wasn't too concerned with the light bar. I just use the fogs a lot, the factory headlights don't really light the side of the road up well and we have a lot of deer etc in my area. The fogs really fill that area well. I might try the squadrons, I was just a little nervous that they are at least 2-3x more lumens than the factory fogs.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    I'm going to run D2s once I stop ordering other necessary stuff from @Pelfreybilt, such as a matching rear bumper.

    Sure do have experience with our Gravity G4 Fogs in the Pelfreybilt bumper. Here's mine below! These are perfect for use on the street or off-road, as they are SAE street legal. We also have an option for the 20" light bar that isn't too expensive either. This is the C-Series 20" Bar - available in clear or amber, or you can pick up our amber acrylic covers and can then use it as clear or amber whenever you choose.

    I have Baja Designs Squadron Driving/Combo lights I got from Pelfreybilt. Way too bright to use on public roads! Brighter than the oem high beams. Awesome illumination though! Crazy bright.

    I'd like to see pics of your light setup from wicked. How did the light bar line up with the cutout from Pelfreybilt? Also, are you running a winch?

    I'll get a couple pics in the morning. The bar needed to be shimmed 1/8" each side and fits very well imo. Running a Warn m8000.

    Running the Rigid SAE compliant fogs w/ amber lenses as well as some cheapo Chinese 20" double row cause by the time I bought the bumper and fogs and the rest of the stuff I was already broke.

    I'm curious as to what people are running on their Hybrid bumpers. Got one coming in the next couple of weeks, still having a hell of a time choosing the right lighting option.

    Looks good, thanks for sharing! I might be going this route as well then. Just ordered a Pelfreybilt front in aluminum and m8000 last week.
