Let's start a poll on getting new fog light upgrades - to work with the new JK head light upgrade from Northridge 4x4!

I'd be interested depending on the cost. If we're talking $200 I think my money would be better spent on aftermarket lighting like some Lightforce lights.

As low as the fog lites are I cannot imagine they would help all that much. You could always do one of those HID bulb conversions for $70-100.

Default Factory...

I think the factory ones work better than I had expected, personally I'm very pleased with them. I just can't see paying for an upgrade on them when there are so many other lighting options.

Since the lens light pattern isn't really as important for the fogs, wouldn't it be better to just put in some +50% or +80% bulbs?

The stock fog's are okay....but I use my PIAA 520's if i need more light...if cost of a brighter fog is within reason.....I may jump at it!

Im fine with the fogs as is. Im also onboard with 1/4/10 headlight pre-order thinking that will solve my needs for now.

We have done some research on the fog lights over the past month or so and it really does not feasible. Cost to do it right would be about 150-200 and at that point I dont think it is worth it.

I would be all over a glass lense replacement, or a plastic replacement that doesn't get heat cracks. Mine are horrible. I never ran a higher wattage bulb in them and still managed to get the spider web-like cracks in them. They are more opaque now than clear. The pattern is fine, i dont feel that needs to be changed, just the quality of the plastic used.
