I may be in the market for rigid spots

Many THX to Matthewd5 for this thread! With the help of my friend & following this thread we successfully added my BDF brackets and dually fog light replacement lights wiring then into the factory fog light switch! Officially wired working perfectly! Now when I want to I can turn on the Dually's in the bumper (using factory switch), the 10" rigid hood light (wired thru SPOD), and my Dually D2's on the A-pillar (wired thru SPOD)!!

Has anyone seen the new Trucklite "fog" lights that match the headlights? They're designed as "side lights" on motorcycles, specifically Harley's (where they'll evidently drop right into the housings next to the center light). They look cool, but like the JW Speakers, there is no mounting system for a JK right now. They're intriguing though. There's a great write up on ********* showing pictures of them side by side to the JW Speaker lights. I think the thread was called Headlight Shootout and you need to go to page 24. I'm also now looking at Hella lights for the fog location. They make HID projector beam low beams and high beam units. They're expensive as hell, but I really want an HID or LED solution to supplement my Trucklite headlights; the low beams are lacking and I just want more light out there. A guy on expedition portal sent me some pics of his hella setup yesterday. I'll download them and post them. Hella also makes Halogen versions of the same lights which are about 1/5th the price of the HIDs. Might be worth trying to start. With projector beam lenses, the cutoff is a straight line and you can easily run HIDs without being that guy!
The same company compared the Trucklite "fog" lights to the JW Speaker "fogs" and it appears the JWS trounces the Trucklights in that department.
The name of the company escapes me at the moment. Perhaps if it weren't so amazingly costly for their brackets I'd remember it

See my writeup on the PIAA 530s. I installed one of them tonight in my AEV bumper; fits perfectly. They were like $180 for true LED fog lights that should compliment my TLs perfectly. Once I get them wired, I will post more in that thread. I've included some prelim pics in the thread too.

Yes, there is a competing product with JW Speaker as well. A company has made a bracket to mount the JW Speaker "fogs" into our factory fog housing, but the bracket (and lights) cost a fortune IMO.

Agreed, I don't know why they want so much for those brackets, probably takes a CNC machine about 12 seconds to cut them out.
For those that are running, or have run Rigid D1 spots in the stock fog location what is the problem with that set up? Is it cut off, spread, pattern? I was just about to do this and now I've been given pause.
