You can get Hella Micro FF lamps that will fit in the bumper like the OEM foglights. Looks factory but is much more effective. Look here. Disclaimer: Some of the pics of this installation are no longer in the library.

I have three KC 55 watt driving lights mounted where the factory fogs used to be and four KC 130 watt slimlites mounted behind the chrome package grill. Plus a relay to run the high and low beams 55/60 watts together. With 915 watts of lights up front, you can get a tan if you stand too close. Yes I have a 200 amp alternator.

Bang for the buck, KC's and ProComps.

Step it up a notch, and Hellas are a great value too.

PIAA's - overpriced, as all their money goes into advertising instead of research.

For switches, you can't beat Carling Contura V-Series.

Here's my original installation



And Here's the latest iteration when I added backup lights.



Shane Linse is your guy for getting hold of these. Contact him at roan65@yahoo.com. He also has a webshots page with pics of what he has available and some installations.
