    Curious if someone knows how to have the fog lights on with the high beams? I realize that it's not legal, but am planning to take our truck on a multiyear trip out of the country

    I've gone back over month in all my email folders. I wasn't notified by those dudes at Baja Designs. Anybody have the link to get the updated stuff for the SAE lights?

    I should link all the fog any time mods in this thread for easy reference.
    They posted the notice in the lighting forum:

    The high temp blue colors are not doing you any favors, need to swap those bulbs for amber ones for better fog performance.

    Just go back to the old halogen bulbs that had the 25-foot wire loom from hell. You had to go through 25 ft of light bulbs to see which one was the bad one. By that time all you want to do is drive to Walmart to buy a new set.

    But everybody can see you, they could also feel your pain about trying to take them out of the box from last year.

    That begs the question, do I want to land a plane in the bed of the truck?
