    OEM fog lights bother you....lol. You drive a lifted truck who's headlights probably blind oncoming traffic and your worried about OEM fog lights. That makes no fucking sense at all.

    I was responsible when lifting my truck and realigned my headlights to accommodate the change. And I'm not worried about OEM fogs, I just think people are dbags that roll around with them on when its unwarranted.

    Well, I drive with them on because I feel like I stand out from the rest of the folks simply running DRL, well that is until I got my Tacoma and now the DRL are a bright amber so I'm ok with that because it's 'different' from everyone else. Here is my logic...when DRL first started coming out cars with DRL stuck out from cars that didn't have them, so they were noticed more. Then most cars had them and they became the norm. Then came HID and they stuck out of the crowd more then conventional DRL, then came LED DRL and so on and so on. So if my fogs get me noticed more then people with HID and LED DRL then I'm ok with being a douche bag. For me, it's all about being seen. My brother wired the DRL on his motor bike to flash on and off and someone told him his light wasn't working because it kept flashing on and off, he said 'did you notice me'? 'yes replied the man'. 'Then my headlight is working just fine'. replied my brother.

    The winter months can be shit most of the time on the West Coast and we get a lot of rain which is one of the reasons I run my fogs. So if running my fogs is going to get me noticed more then what most drivers are accustomed to seeing and it stops someone from making a left turn in front of me, even if only once, self proclaimed douche bag I am. :thumbsup:

    ...would I run a light bar or Rigid fogs all the time, hell no, those fuckers are way too bright for most street applications. OEM fogs though...not so much.

    Nice setup on your truck btw. :thumbsup:

    My oem fogs have water in the housing and I never really use them anyway. If I could do it over I would go with Rigid's.
