I joke with my wife a lot, last year it was "What are you going to buy the Jeep for Christmas?"
In May it was "What are you going to buy the Jeep for its Birthday?"
I have been asking her for several weeks now again "What are you going to buy the Jeep for Christmas this year?"

Think I just figured it out.

Been running some E-bay Opt7 craptastic LED fogs with the Pro Cal daytime running light feature. They are nice for DRL application but suck as true fog lights.

I'm a little confused by their color choice. I would have through something closer to 2700K would be appropriate for a fog lamp.

Good point. I'm really interested in these - 1700 lumens is awesome! 6500k is almost blue isn't it? That kinda sucks....

Im running 6500k led light bars and they are white. If there is any blue in there, I can't see it.

Are these direct replacements for OEM bumpers? or any aftermarket bumper like PS bumpers, they would fit? Would they somewhat match TrukLights?

I wonder how a bright white would work as a fog.
I keep reading that folks say you need amber - or yellow.

Amber or yellow do work better for fog lights because it penetrates the fog, ran and dust better with less light reflecting back at you. If you keep them in the stock location (as i did with my fog lights), they will work fine but just not as well as yellow or amber lights would.

Here you guys go!























The new gravity fog lights are quite a bit brighter than stock and pair well with the KC HiLiTES LED headlights. I have nothing negative to say about these lights and I am glad I did the upgrade. If I was going to complain about something, it would be that the fog lights sit back about 1.5" from front of bumper. Due to the lights being further back, I do lose some width and cut off lines.
