Default Kc slimlite question

Wondering which would be the best on bumper and why? Long range, driving, or fog? I'm planning on the long range on the windshield for sure. Thanks in advance

Slimlites are great! I love mine. I have the long range on windshield brackets and would go for the fog on the bumper if I didn't have the stinger (no light mounts). Post pics when you get it all done.

I have fogs on my bumper, long range on my windshield. I am pretty happy with how bright the fogs are. If I have my brights on and turn on my fogs they don't extend any further than the brights, but fill out the entire illuminated area -- if that makes sense at all.

So they have a wide light pattern. How are they compared to the long range in brightness?

I think the long range are significantly brighter. I am really happy with the combination of the two though.

I also have the long range on the windshield and fogs on the bumper. I thinks it's a great combo and when I flip them on it's like it's day light!

Love my KC's! I have the long range on the windshield and driving on the bumper. Really like the setup. I use the driving lights all the time when riding dirt roads through the woods at night and the long range are when I need hi-beams or if I need to see what is down the road.

I have 2 fogs on the bumper hoop, 3 long-range and 2 drivers on the RR light bar. I have 3 separate switches.

I think the fogs are better down low. The fogs are designed to supplement your low beams and the driving lights to supplement the highs. The long range are for, well, long range.
