Default Lights to go with headlights

My new bumper does not have fog light holes. I am looking for 1 pair of lights to mount on top of my bumper. I intend to upgrade my headlights to Peterson LEDs. I plan to use the stock switch that originally turned on the fogs to turn on the lights or a relay to the lights. Which lights do you recommend?

I'm waiting on a set of 6cubes from Inspired Engineering to replace my fogs. Can't comment on how good they are, but I've heard good things about them and you can get them plug and play with the factory connector.

You looking for a dot light in a fog pattern? Rigid is coming out with a dot fog light that should compliment your headlights. KC has the 4" gravity led that has better numbers than than the rigids. Both are dot and should have a proper fog pattern

I run the inspired engineering jk fog kit. They are awesome. Plug n play is exactly what it says. I also run them for Apillar lights. Customer service is great.

I got the 5 light led Revolvers from Inspired Engineering. They are insanely bright and high quality. Very impressed; they are a veteran owned company and they shipped quickly.

Just curious - are you guys running these on the road? I'm not familiar with IE - are they DOT legal or they simply another offroad light that you have have to toggle on and off as traffic approaches?

I haven't had one person flash me. I have them properly aimed. I don't think they are DOT approved. I turn them on as daytime running lights also! Lol

They are "for off road use only". But a flood pattern doesn't throw light far enough to blind people mounted low on a bumper as a fog light. Spot pattern is more focused so it could possibly blind someone on the road. I think as long as you live in Free America, you can get away with running LED floods.
