I want the color match, not neccesiraly more light, as the headlights are real bright now! I don't think I want to pay for a whole new fog housing, but perhaps a quality bulb that matches that wont blow fast. Putco is this a real good brand , I saw some of you mention? Someone mentioned quadratec has a bulb, why would that be better then a putco, just the name, or a certain reason why?

I am very happy with Inspired Engineering Revolvers. Great kit. The color is a great match for the TrukLites.

Just know that depending on the year of your JK, the bulb will differ. 2007-2009 uses a 9145 bulb while 2010+ uses a 2504/5202 bulb.

Personally I am looking for both, but whatever the replacement, they have to actually work as fog lights. Do either the Trucklite fogs or the Revolvers actually work in fog?

Remember Rigid just released their high and low beam fogs. As long as their an LED it is likely to match.

I believe i'm running the Putco replacement LED bulb and it matches the trucklites just fine. Better output than stock as well.

I can't remember if it's in this thread on the first page or in another thread elsewhere, but someone with Truck-Lites mentioned that they felt the OEM fogs with the OEM halogens worked better than the Truck-Lites. In this video you can see the comparison. It looks like Truck-Lites have just about the same pattern as OEM fogs, just with a brighter light. I have no idea of the costs of Truck-Lites vs the Putco bulbs, but if it came between the two I'd probably go with what I imagine is the cheaper Putco bulbs. Same bright pattern without the costs of the Truck-Lites.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn7bmJw3umI I have the JW Speaker 6145s, but don't have them hooked up. Pictures and videos I've seen are pretty impressive for bright, functioning fogs, but I can't comment until I get around to hooking them up. They are probably at least twice the cost of Truck-Lites, though.

Do you have any details on these? I haven't heard of them.
