The best out there are the JW Speaker, but they are WAY too expensive in my opinion. I think they run around 250-300 PER LIGHT. Truck Lite makes a set that is a smaller fog version of their 7" head lights. They run about 119 a piece, but you can get a pair shipped for under $180 from drivetrain america. You will need a wiring adapter to make them plug and play...and a bracket to mount them. Nemesis sells a set of bracketw for about $50. Its not really a cheap upgrade, but worth it in my opinion.
...looking at aftermarket driving lights....anyone have some suggestions on lights that I can connect to using the factory wiring to the stalk?

The new bumper I ordered doesnt have cutouts for the factory fogs. Rather than a wiring adapter, I would splice and solder my connections. I know LEDs such as the D2 Duallys do not consume that much power, but i like the looks of a full sized circular aux light. Worst case senario, I just dump the OEM curcuit and run my own to a toggle or rocker switch.

Wired up my HIDs to rocker switches and added flag decals
I got rid of the wireless remote controls and relays that came with my Warn HIDs. The first time I went fishing and needed the lights, the remotes didn't work worth a darn. Sometimes they wouldn't turn on or off. The problem with them is the antennas on the control boxes under the hood are too short or the engine noise interferes. I messed around with them for a while and decided to order two new wiring harnesses, a Daystar dash panel, and rocker switches. Just finished rewiring them again.
Also washed her up in 28 degree weather and installed two custom made flag decals for the driver and passenger sides.

Added RC 3.25" Lift, 15" Summit Racing "D" wheels and 35" Pro Comp M/T's
If anyone has any questions on how to install this lift, please ask. It's pretty straight forward. I still need to figure out whether or not I want center caps and if they should be chrome or black. I dislike the "rusted centercap" look.
