Default Newbie lighting question

I have the piaa pro 80 xt fogs and the pro 80 xt pencil beams (on the way). And will be buying the 80 xt pro driving when I can afford them. I am putting the fogs on my bumper (mopar offroad), where would you put the pencil beams? On the Windshield brackets or on the hoop on the bumper? Aprreciate any advice on this.

when arranging mine I put wider beam pattern lights closer to the road and thinner as I went further from the ground. To answer your question, put your long range lights on the windshield, your call though.

Wide beam (driving or fog) lights could cause more hood glare. I put my long range spots up there on the A-pillar brackets, i do get some, but to me it is barely noticable.

my windshield lights are kc 100w driving lights and glare is not an issue. mine is rescue green so it reflects less than if it were white or silver.
