Fog lights aren't supposed to be bright spots, they're supposed to be an even flood. They're for spotting the sides of the road and obstacles in fog. If you want bright spot-pattern DRIVING lights, then wire them to your high beams and have at it. Put a couple of massive light bars on, and look like a brotruck.

One on the roof, one on top of the grille, and one under the grille ought to do it.

Then buy Ridgid's DOT-legal fog pods. They'll have a razor sharp cutoff, and be a legit fog pattern.

If you buy cheap Chinese LED bars, the optics are a joke (PVD-coated plastic hot-snotted onto the LED Stars), the LEDs are often crooked, and the output is poo poo. You get what you pay for.


And PIAA's are poo poo

Yeah, I've seen the Rigids, but again $$$, nothing between $30 crap and $250+? I'll look at conventional projector fogs and call it good for $90 or less... :(

The old adage applies: You get what you pay for. If you want to flood an area with light, glare-be-damned, cheap is fine. Otherwise, real money needs to be spend on optics and on assembly that matches the design.
