Default Truck-Lite headlight question

I've searched for an answer to this but not coming up with anything...

I'm looking at buying a bumper soon and I keep going back to a few stubby models with no foglight cutouts but I count on my factory fogs to augment the crappy stock headlights.

Would an upgrade to Truck-Lites allow me to run without fogs?

Absolutely the truck-lites are super bright and have a very wide pattern. You could easily run them by themselves and still be way better off than the factory lights and fogs

I still like my fogs on with trucklites, they still light up the road just in front and the sides of the road

I do to but trucklites alone are 10X better then stock headlights and stock fog lights. Stock headlights are down right dangerous without the fogs.

I agree. Also, my fog lights look bad compared to the white of the Truck-lites. I am looking to upgrade my fogs... Just Empty Every Pocket!!

Ok so I got some comparison photos for you guys these pictures were taken in the exact same place one year apart. Factory headlights and fogs vs. Trucklite's with Rigid Duallys in the fogs. THIS IS THE WAY TO GO! http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/...psb55c66f7.jpghttp://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/...pse68a733b.jpghttp://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/...ps389d8b0c.jpg

WOW. Major difference! I just wish the Rigids were DOT approved for full time on-road use!!!

I'll definitely be ordering the Truck-Lites

Yeah, after a recent onslaught of rain we had here last week, I'm ordering a pair as well. It'll be my first real mod for my jeep. I couldn't see crap and was relying heavily on my fogs. I'm done toying w/ and aiming them...
