Default Warn wireless remote driving lamps...any experiance?

Just wondering if anyone has tried Warn's new remote operated lights. Seems like a good idea since you wouldnt have to run wire and cut a hole in the dash. which im not a big fan of doing. Also with that said...lets say i swap to a bumper and run some non OE lights..can i just use the wores from the OE fog lights to run the aftermarket ones so i can still use the switch on the factor stalk?

Basically I want a aftermarket bumper that will accept the stock fog lamps so I can still turn on the fog lights with the factory contol. If i dont get a bumper that accepts factory fogs I was considering the warn remote wires...BUT in my state if i remove the stock fogs...i would still ahve the factory switch ...and state inspection says....if theres a switch there from the factory it must work and the lights must be there...yeah stupid I know and there are way around it depending on who you get to inspect the vehicle.

High quality, nice product. Had them on the 2009 I traded in for my new one. They got sold with the Jeep, but when I had them I had them wired to stock fog wiring harness and no issues.

Have the driving lights and they are great! Easy to install also. Lights up the trails great at night.

Is it possible to have 2 sets of these (fog & driving)? Would wireless controls interfere with each other?

For anyone interested, I found out from Warn customer service:

"Yes you can use two different type of Warn lights with one remote. You just have to purchase a Y splitter. It is our part number 87540 and will allow up to 4 lights with one control."

The lights are great and being remote controlled is sofa king awesome, but they are small. The ones I got looked very tiny on the hood mounts, so I put them on the front bumper as extras.

Where in the heck do you install the wiring harness there's not a lot of room under the hood! Any pictures? I know their not that powerful a light but I like clean lines and covers. KC's are great but I hate that big KC on the guard.
Thanks
