Default What lights for bumper?

I have the smittybilt bumper and looking to put some lights on it. But I don't know if I need fog lights or what kind to get and what size would be a good fit. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Are you wanting halogen or led? Round or square?

Check your depth. Some are very limited once you have a winch control pack in the way.

From the way it's looking I got a nice amount of depth.

Kc driving slims on my 2012 Sahara. Absolutely no regrets. Installation myself and was a breeze. Lots of forums about installation.

I recommend the PIAA 520's. I'm running ion crystal fogs on the bumper

These are a little more expensive then the KC slim lights. Why would you recommend them over the other?
And also do you have any pictures of them on with no head lights on just so I can see the brightness

I guess your budget really comes into play then. For some serious light. I recommend the
W700D-HID DRIVING LIGHTS. I wish they would fit in my bumper. I ended up with them on my windshield. Couldn't be happier with them. They turn night into day. Clean white light.

For a smaller package and a little less light and range check out the rigid 10" bar. Very good stuff.

I have used both. The PIAA are better quality IMO and offer a lifetime warranty. They draw less current, and produce a whiter light. I had rust issues with my KC's, but not with the PIAA's. Install is simple too. Everything is pre-terminated
