Default Off Road Fog-lights

I have searched a bunch and i found a few pictures of people that have added aftermarket foglights to their cars...

Im having a really tough time seeing when its raining out, or just plane dark out. I dont feel that my headlights or fog lights together do the best. I have upgraded my head lights to the PIAA 3800 white lights and they are nice but i would really like to beable to see a lot more.

Does ANYONE have pictures of any daily driver that has aftermarket fog lights on their cars ??? I would really be interested in getting a pair to see more down the road.



These are rally off road fog lights.

Im not sure if i want to go that big but it would be different.

ANY HELP would be great.

you need some big buckets to house offroad lights. But they are just that- offroad lights. I believe they are illegal and dangerous (for oncoming traffic) so shop carefully for proper lights for your application.

here's a subaru for example w/ lightforces

Yeah i wasnt sure if they would be dangerious or not having them.

So with the subaru... i could kind of do the same thing and just find a foglight that would fit in the existing housing and wire it up to work ?

Now a driving light is used as a 2nd headlight ? ( farther, tighter beam)

But a fog light ( wider, shorter beam ) ? Correct ?

So i be looking for a fog light or a driving light ?

yes, a fog light is ideally low as possible (to get 'under' the fog) and more dispersed, flood. usually a contrasting amber/yellow light for contrast

pencil beam is more driving light, headlight height, focused on the road ahead. there are wattage limitations for safety on-road. not sure of the rules but all of the lights you are considering are technically illegal on road I believe.

I personally would not use these lights on road b/c they could blind oncoming traffic rather severely. If you're thinking of turning on/off as traffic approaches, you might as well do that now with the hi-beams and save the $$.

Maybe look at some smaller driving or fogs for whatever you're going for.

Lightforces are nice b/c they are adjustable like a mag lite. wide to narrow beam.. the LF140 is the smallest they make but, agan, you need a big bucket- like maybe a S4 bumper.

the lights on the audi look like hella 4000's btw
