Default Which lights to buy??

I had a new custom front bumper built and lost my factory fogs while making this change. I want to get 2 more aftermarket lights to replace my old fogs. My question is which are the best to buy without being too expensive. Something not too big... maybe 5". Also, being from Canada it would be awesome to order from a place that has a Canadian branch. Thanks!

I know Amazon sells a set of Hella's that make excellent driving lights. They're the model 500 I believe and can be found on sale for $50USD on ocassion. I helped TheOnlyRedHead put some on his JK and they work very well. I'm sure Amazon had a Canada branch.

Or you could always check out Northridge's site. Dave's usally got something that will work great.

Default I agree...

I didn't want to spend hundreds on lights either. I went with the Hella 500s and for the money they are great! I haven't had any regrets on mine.

Hella for $50, and another $50 on H3 HID's and you've got yourself a very bright setup. Terrible light dispersion, so I wouldnt recommend driving at night on public roads.

I'll check that out, thanks! Yeah I was considering just giving Northridge a call (the Canadian one though) and asking them what they thought would be the best since I've heard that they sometimes have things in stock that aren't even posted on their website.

Yeah, just doesn't really seem like an area where I'd like to spend a ton of money, especially if I can get something that works well for cheaper like you've suggested. Thanks! I'm going to look into these
