    Since that photo, I removed the PIAA plastic guards. Looks much better.

    I went with the IPF 968...I didn't realized that the Lightforces were almost $400 each!!! I just can't do that.

    So what's a good rocker switch that looks semi factory? I'd like to wire them up so that they come on with my brights and independently. So 3 positions: 1) Off; 2) On; 3) On and Off with Bright Lights.

    I found the same lights I have on Amazon for 200 bucks for the pair

    Since 1st gens didn't come with fog lights, nothing will quite look "factory". Here is a thread on where other people were mounting their switches. Some of them are pretty clean looking. I'm sure somewhere in the 7 pages is a good write up on doing it.

    Also, here is where you can order some switches. Just make sure they come with the rocker.

    Yeah, I kind of had my heart set on the LEDs. But then I saw the price, I mean I could do it but I'd rather spend that money on something else. Plus the IPFs look pretty good.

    Thanks for those links...I'll go through them to get some switch ideas. I kind of want the one that says "BEER."
