I know that you broke the link on purpose. But I can't find that fixture. But I can say this: If you are replacing a fog light with a work light, you will get poor results.

OK. I found the fixtures that you are talking about. Still, you shouldn't replace a "Fog" beam pattern with a "Work / Flood" beam pattern. The fog beam pattern has a very sharp cutoff just a few feet above the ground. Fog lights concentrate the lighting on the ground under the fog. Flood lights have a very big circular beam pattern. If you use this beam pattern in foggy weather, you will not be able to see 3 feet in front of you. If you use them in normal weather, you will blind everyone. Not to mention, they would be considered illeagle for street use anyway.

Oh! OK, Well I don't know if they will actually fit. But they would probably be OK for what you are looking for. And I don't mean to keep dinging your idea. But a good set of lights mounted on top of the bumper would work best.
