Default Fog lights for New Bumper

Hey guys,

I bought an AEV bumper for '08 X. The jeep didn't come with fogs so I am looking to put some in. I'll probably just wire them to a switch pod since I am looking to add additional lighting on top of the factory size fogs. Any suggestions on lights, wiring, switches, or just general tips? Are the mopar fogs any good? Should I buy their kit with the new blinker stalk?
Thanks in advance.

Save your money the MOPAR fog lights are not worth it. Go with LED or HIDs

So anybody have any suggestions for aftermarket fogs for my new bumper? I live in one of if not the rainiest cities in the country so I intend to use them as fog/ low vis lights and not as trail lights. (those are coming too though).

I'd get rigid industries D2 driving lights w/ BDF fog light brackets. The lights will come with all the wiring you need plus a switch & everything is pre wired. Just mount the switch, hook up poitive & negative wire & your done.

The rigids also come in a yellow fog. Very nice lights. For switches, I bought OTRATTW. They lazer etch them to order and they are awesome to deal with. Anything you want, they can do.

The BDF bracket is the exact same as the poison spyder one. He contracts for them if I'm not mistaken
